Quotes
The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it. ~Patrick Young
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring. ~George Santayana
Dear beautiful Spring weather, I miss you. Was it something I said? ~ "Skipper" Kim Corbin

Denver's City park provides habitat for about 100 double breasted cormorants. You will also find egrets, mallards and nuthatches there.
Birders (people whose hobby is bird watching) of the Denver Field Ornithologists (BFO) have ample opportunities to observe cormorants and nuthatches. Other birding activities are offered by the Denver Area Audubon Society.
May Audubon field trips include:
The Lowry Ranch field trip is on 25,000+ acres of undeveloped land in Arapahoe County owned by the State Land Board.
Walk the Wetlands, a 3 miles walk along the South Platte River exploring ponds
Cherry Creek Reservoir Spring Count everyone welcome – just show up. More eyes spot more birds.
