Good Morning, Friday

May 24, 2013

 Colorado River Refuge beginning at the Twin Bridge Trail: 8:30 AM--11:00 AM.  Partly Sunny and muggy, 80’s F.

 

A Greater Roadrunner greeted me at the parking area of the trailhead.  Preceded west along the river toward the RR bridge and then turned back to make a loop along the Cottonwood Trail, following the road back to start, then driving to the Dragonfly Trail head and out Riverside Drive to Lovers Lane.  Shocker was a Cottonmouth shooting out of a crevice in the rocks underneath the RR trestle.  21 Species heard or seen.
