A Boulder Audubon trip to the South Boulder Creek Natural Area suggested that we could see Birds and Insects of Boulder’s Tallgrass Prairies. We did.
Led by Steve Jones, the mainstay of the Boulder Audubon Society, and less than two miles from my home, this trip was a must for me. The Rocky Mountains also rise up less than two miles from this Natural Area.

We saw one of my favorite insects, a Monarch Butterfly.

Another insect that I wasn’t familiar with is equally beautiful.

But I particularly wanted to see a Blue Grosbeak. We passed some bushes where we got glimpses of a pair of them, and at that point Steve happened to suggest that we go off on our own to see what we could find. I used that half hour to concentrate on the grosbeak pair.
