[cobirds] Luke and Dianna's Awesome Big Day

Hi All,
Dianna VanderDoes and I completed our Colorado Challenge a day late but we were not a dollar short. Despite a well below par 74 species for Larimer County, we convinced enough family and friends to contribute to get us in the top 3 in money raised. We had a fun time sorting through shorebirds/waterbirds at Timnath (but apparently missed many based on others lists) and then visited Fossil Creek Open Space, Pine Ridge Natural Area, Lory State Park, Watson Lake and finished at City Park in Fort Collins where our final species was the Wood Duck including two males in fresh, stunning nuptial plumage. Our list is below. We were tired but very happy after a full day of birding and 12,000+ steps!
Best,
Luke
