A constantly moving little yellow warbler takes a moment to breathe and enjoy the fresh spring grass from a perch on an old downed log.

Someone to look up to.
These guys seem to be buddies. In fact, more often than not, I see the Pelicans hanging with the cormorants on this island while kayaking at oxbow bend in Teton National Park.
Acorn Woodpecker
It is always fun to see species not common to where you live when you travel. Wonderful colors on this acorn woodpecker which was photographed along the coast in northern CA.
Refugees?
At the edge of the many ponds brought about by the spring melt in North Park avocets were hanging out and feeding in the shallow water. It was a treat to see up to 5 or 6 in a single area. This photo was taken on a small pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Does this make the Avocets Refugees?
Wilsons Phalarope
We found a nice sized group of these guys feeding in shallows ponds created by the the recent rain and snowmelt in Northern Colorado. What a beautiful bird.
Ravens, fog and rock
A pair of ravens having a chat on a foggy morning near Ucluelet, BC. They were probably discussing the pair of eagles in the trees above or maybe the grey whale swimming by below.
Eight
Mom is giving these youngsters a bit of freedom but still maintaining the ever watchful eye. A textbook study in good parenting if I do say so myself.
Horned Lark 2014 version
I love being able to photograph these guys, such an interesting bird. Taken while driving the backroads of Weld county, CO.
Bullocks
The Oriole that is. Bight orange and beautiful the Bullocks Oriole. Who can resist that goatee and the Zoroesque mask. We typically see hundreds of Oriole nest in the winter and early spring but only catch a rare glimpse of the maker. This year we were lucky and got several nice opportunities.
Spring Hawk
We found this hawk hanging out in a tree surveying the fields below for a quick meal of baby prairie dogs which seemed to have all been born this week.Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife refuge.
