Comments: Gray days can offer surprisingly great birding and excellent light for seeing colors in plumages! We were treated with a lot of bird activity particularly in the willow thickets and edges of the aspen groves around Maroon Lake. Many juveniles are on the wing lately, attended by adults. Particularly helpful was getting to see both Lincoln’s and Song sparrows at close range and singing. In addition to all the birds, we observed a beaver, snowshoe hare, and mule deer.
