Spring time is Rabbit time. Last weekend we saw plenty of healthy rabbits roaming the sagebrush and grasslands of the Arapahoe Wildlife Refuge as well as plenty of Hawks looking for an easy meal. Luckily for this guy he stayed on guard and was reluctant to stray too far from the cover of the sage.
Sheep that is. A young Bighorn Sheep resting in some nice spring growth after a bit of time spent grazing. Photographed near Salida, CO.
A family of coots in the foreground and a lone pie-billed grebe chick enjoying a late afternoon shower.
A Wilson’s Snipe enjoying the spring wetlands before the summer sun does it’s thing. Green grass and plenty of water, who could ask for more. Arapahoe National WIldlife refuge.
Each partially hidden within the grass we were content to observe each other for quite some time. Eventually hunger got the best of us and I headed home for dinner and the coyote off to hunt.
A mule deer demonstrating a bit of youthful exuberance gives us a playful look on a beautiful spiring morning that just seems like it is meant for play. In the Foothills near Denver, CO.
A young mule deer enjoying a little afternoon nap. A nice siesta on a Friday Afternoon sounds like a pretty good idea this week.
A porcupine peaking out from behind a lodgepole pine near Willow Creek Pass in Colorado. We seldom see theses guys while out and about so this was a treat.
A northern shoveler taking to the skies in the last rays of golden light. Photographed along clear creek in Denver, CO.
