Welcome to another Spring day at Bryce! This is what woke up to yesterday morning - snow everywhere! It wasn't deep, maybe a centimeter or so (less than 1/2 inch), but there none the less. Not that it is a surprise around here since last year it snowed as late as June 6. Pictured is a close-up of the snow and hoarfrost on a Manzanita outside my trailer.

Surprisingly, given the weather, I had 8 participants show up for my bird walk. And the birding was tough. Best I could muster was finding 10 species and that includes a Northern Flicker that was heard, but not seen. A singing Green-tailed Towhee once again put on a show for us and we saw several Grace's Warblers foraging in one small area near the lodge, high up in the Ponderosa Pines. This female Western Bluebird is, for me, a reminder of the beautiful Spring days we had earlier in the week. Today there's still a 70% chance of snow.
