Sharp Looking
Or perhaps looking sharp? This Western Meadowlarks beak fits right in amongst the barbed wire, sharp steel fence post and did I mention those claws. I wouldn’t like to tangle with any of them. Arapahoe Wildlife Refugee near Walden, CO.
Golden Hour
Mallard enjoying the evening golden hour which is arriving earlier and earlier everyday. Making it easier to photograph the sunset after work, but getting up in the morning darkness is a bear.
Along Clear Creek in Denver Co.
Singing in the rain
Well…not exactly rain, but this sparrow was belting out quite a tune on a cloudy and misty day near Point Reyes National Seashore, CA.
Great Blue
Great Blue Heron surveys the terrain from a nice perch above Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park. It always amazes me when I see just how long these guys legs are out of water.
Seed Battle
A Rosy Finch shoots a Sparrow an intimidating glare as they battle for spilt seed from a feeder.
Birds on a log.
Well not just any two birds. A mom Merganser and her lone chick. They were quietly sitting on this log as I paddled by in my kayak. I was able to snap a few pics before moving on in leigh lake GTNP.
Raven on the rocks
Pinhole photo of a raven enjoying the nice sunset.
Ghosts on the Pond
As the evening light was moving in a large group of Eared Grebes seemed almost ghostlike, not quite shadows or fully silhouetted but visible with just the slightest details present. Present but not fully. Taken at twilight on a quiet pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge.
Flight
These swallows were busy foraging for dinner over lake John near Walden, CO. Watching them forage that evening was a lesson in flight itself.
