If (like last year)it was a big snow winter, they didn't close all the ski resorts till 4th of July- in shady spots "feet" of snow will remain regardless of temp for a long time. I'm not being argumentative just passing along info since I live up at 8700 feet. I've rescued pelicans downed in ice storms during May up here, in CO you just never know. fyi: re: timing of the year at Stu’s house…it can, and often does snow any month of the year up in Vail esp.by Vail Pass.

As a novice birder, I learned a lot just from the review. Regarding the bird calls, and the trouble birders have with them, I read about a new iPhone app that lets you record the bird call and then send it to the server, which identifies the bird from the sound file! I believe that the app name is WeBird. Thanks again for a great article. Thanks for a great review! As a novice birder, I learned a lot just from the review.
