Just another spring day to head to the woods. We seem to get into the Rocky National Park weekly. Our favorite place is Cub lake. Today we were thrilled with all the animals and springtime colors but nothing seemed to beat the dark grey bird playing in the creek. He would pump his legs, a sort of bounce, play above the water on logs and then disappear for a bit under water! The kids laughter was contagious and we couldn't help but come home and identify this little bird. The American Dipper. Cedar wanted to journal about this and the Robin as they were pleasantly bathing in some run-off puddles farther down the trail.
We were also excited to be greeted by a coyote as we entered the trail today. He was calm, beautiful, and slow but steady.
At the lake we spent plenty of time playing near this beautiful creek filled with bright colors and the last signs of winter ice.
We are excited for the springtime changes and welcome the sunshine and deep creeks that were snowy last time we visited.

Oooooo...I love the dipper! I was thinking we'd head to that beloved spot tomorrow. We seem to spot coyotes there often! Have fun at Big Elk Meadows.
