Trip to Northern Colorado
Thursday June 6, 1907
Almost perfectly clear morning at Boulder. About 50 piñon jays flew over the house at 7 a.m. going nearly north. Clouded up before 9 a.m. Left Boulder at 9:45 for Ft. Collins by C & S Ry arriving there at 11:40. Got outfit from freight depot and then went to Tiedman Hotel for dinner. Got loaded by 2 p.m. and started at 2:20 in a driving rain, Dodds and I in the saddle, Ramaley, Robbins and the driver (Casey) in the wagon, the outfit from Tate and Sedgley’s stable. Dodds and I went due west and photographed the fine fold at Belleview, catching the wagon at Owl Canyon at 6:30, where we went into camp. Saw the following birds: magpies, redwing blackbird, lark buntings, Arkansas kingbird, T.T. kingbird, mourning doves, 1 killdeer, 1 kingfisher, robins, barn swallows, cliff swallows
