Spotted Towhee
A Spotted Towhee perched in the now leafless late fall forest.
Looking a bit less like a funky chicken that he did a few weeks back. https://naturehasnoboss.com/2016/11/22/spotted-towhee-2/
In fact he looks downright stately.
Thanks for Dropin’ in
We would like to thank this handsome gentleman for dropping in on the party we had the other day. While we were sitting quietly on a creek bank waiting for an American Dipper to move into camera range this guy unexpectedly plopped into the water right in front of us. He swam around for a few minutes and then made his way over to the other ducks on the creek for a little networking and snacks. Clear Creek in Denver, CO.
More Dried Fuirt
Cedar Waxwings picking over the same patch of dried berries that the Robins found appealing in yesterdays post. We only see the Waxwings for a week each year and only in the fall. This year they were right on schedule and arrived sometime during the last week of November and had departed by last weekends walk through the woods.
Dried Fruit
When the fresh fruit runs out it’s a good thing the pantry is stocked with dried.

Barrows Goldeneye
The local ponds are chock full of common Goldeneye in the winter but a Barrows Goldeneye is a rare visitor. Photographed along Clear Creek in Denver, CO.
In lost light
A black Capped Chickadee sat singing a-dee-dee-dee in the now lost light of a small local woodlands. Even with the sun at high noon this patch of shrubs remains dimly light. Yet when the chickadee sings the forest feels bright.
Tippy Top
With barely room for both claws to get a good hold an American Kestrel perches on the top a branch.
Onward and upward
A small Brown Treecreeper eyes the way onward and upward with the hopes of finding a small grub along the sloping landscape of a cottonwood tree. Photographed along Clear Creek in Denver, CO.
Move along…nothing to see here
