Spring has Sprung!
Today was amazing. I found a plethora of animals, including my first snake and first in-hand turtle. Tons of deer, new species of birds, the cormorants are back, and crayfish are breeding. I also heard an owl and saw a heron.
Perhaps the most exciting though was I heard a few chorus frogs in a vernal pool!
Today was sooo much fun. Spring is truly here in Colorado
