Apr is bowing out amongst snowfall along the Colorado Front Range, non an odd occurrence. Arriving final evening, the upslope tempest left exclusively an inch or 2 of snowfall across Metro Denver, coating the lawns as well as trees past times daybreak.
Heading downward to South Platte Park, I flora that the wild animals was to a greater extent than frequently than non unfazed past times the chilly air as well as wintry landscape. Exceptions were the large flocks of violet-green swallows that strafed the river or huddled inwards trees along the shores of Eaglewatch Lake; only dorsum from the Tropics, I'm certain they were dismayed to uncovering that the mutual depression temperature atmospheric condition had stunned as well as grounded their prey. Other birds were every bit active every bit ever, perchance fifty-fifty invigorated past times the chill; an osprey tore apart a fish atop a ability pole, a mixed flock of cormorants as well as mergansers pigeon for their morning time repast as well as a host of songbirds (chickadees, yellow-rumped warbers, household wrens, woodpeckers) gleaned lethargic insects from the shrubs as well as trees. Even a distich of broad-tailed hummingbirds, seemingly out of house inwards the wintry landscape, chased 1 around other through a lakeside woodland.
Thanks to the high Apr Sun as well as despite the grayness overcast, the snowfall was gone past times noon as well as the aspect (if non the feel) of saltation has returned. Alas, around other circular of low-cal snowfall may autumn this evening but a rapid warmup is expected past times the weekend when summer-like conditions volition envelop the urban corridor. Such is saltation inwards Colorado.
