Cool, humid, and partly foggy. 25°F. 0-4 mph.  10 participants

We left sunny Boulder this morning headed for Lagerman Reservoir. When we arrived, it was

so foggy we could hardly see each other, let alone birds. So we headed off to Pella Crossing where we could see some birds, as well as, some fog. After things clear a bit, we headed back to Lagerman.

Note: the wonderful images of the dark morph ferruginous hawk in the slide show were taken at Lagerman Reservoir by Kevin Rutherford, right after we disbanded.

than they are inconspicuous in both sight and sound. We had three this morning working a grove of small trees. At one point, two of the creepers got into a tiff which soon seemed to resolve itself. I had never seen creepers act that way. You never know what you'll find when you go out bird watching!
