Spring in January

Sunrise on the 3rd of January
It's been in the 50's and sunny this week. I've heard some black-capped chickadees doing their mating calls...oops. Sorry guys, you have a LONG way to go! The wind has picked up a little but nothing even close to last winter's winds.  Kinda scary how little snow the mountains have even though Boulder has more in town than Crested Butte. 

Lots of wildlife going through and using the property this week.  Yesterday alone we had 4 elk in the back meadow grazing and then napping up in the woods and 3 coyotes hunting in the willows.  The dogs were going crazy barking at it all and had a great hike sniffing all the scents in the woods later that day. They also just love the 'milk duds' that the elk leave behind.
