Another great day at Star Mountain. Mark's first fishing day of the year. New waders worked well and he caught (but did not keep) 3 hefty rainbow trout.(16" and fat) And Mark's report is that a number of guided floats were going down the Gunnison river. Seems awfully early...
On our walk this morning, grouse were everywhere in the woods. The photo is of a male grouse, defending his territory, with probably a nest nearby. That giant eye looking thing is to deter. His head is to the left of that. He fans the tail and puffs up the giant eye. Pretty weird looking I think...
Hummingbird feeders are up and only one visit so far (possibly by the same lone one we saw yesterday) and this afternoon a big gust of wind flung one of the feeders down on the deck with pieces everywhere. The next purchase on the list...
Mark also picked up his bike in town that had been reconditioned. This, for those who don't know, is a 20 year old bike that has mostly languished in two different basements. I was sure the bike place would laugh out loud when he turned it in, but no, took it away, had it ready the next day and charged him $30 bucks. Now I'm waiting to see him out on the road...
