Ouray NWR bird survey

[Diane_Penttila at fws dot gov]

Brrr, after 5 days of below zero temperatures last week, almost all the
migratory birds have moved off the refuge.  Only small pockets of open
water remain on the Green River.  But the antelope, mule deer and
occasional elk herd watching is still very good.
