Uncompahgre Ride & Birding

We took off and went up on the Pahgre and headed down the Nucla Road.  We stopped at a pond beside the road knowing there might be a few birds around.  All we saw was crossbills there...and a little 'monk'.  A couple deer, a kestrel and a hawk rounded out the day nicely.  We then headed down the road and saw a gully washer out over the Norwood area.  But, the further we got down the road the muddier it got.  It was very slick and the mud stuck to the Jeep tires.  We flipped her around and got out of there.  It was still a good day!
