[cobirds] Larimer County - FOS Mountain Bluebird

A harbinger of spring, despite the high winds…While walking our dog, I was privileged to see a beautiful male Mountain Bluebird flitting around the grasses in the Molly Moon Meadow near Red Feather Lakes this morning.  I just hope he still has many friends, after our Mountain Bluebirds were devastated last spring when they tried to avoid a spring storm by migrating down to Fort Collins, where reportedly hundreds died of starvation and/or freezing.   Very few returned to the hills to breed last summer.
