A male American Redstart full of color and song on a cool early summer afternoon. Never one to sit still for long this little guy was both a frustration and joy to watch and photograph.

A little House Wren observes as light peeks in at the forests edge.
Denver, CO.
A nice Yellow Finch compliments summers leaves quite well. A male American Goldfinch enjoys a bit of shade on a warm summer afternoon.
Off in the distance a tree creeper creeps.
A Small bird in a changing big world…amazing we still have birds left at all.
A male Lark Sparrow pokes about in the short desert grasses of Western Colorado. A unique sparrow and thankfully one that is easy to identify correctly. If you have any good tips or a process you follow to identify sparrows they would sure be welcome.
Usually you like to keep the location of a good fishing hole to yourself. In this case it looks like the word got out. Pelicans, Cormorants, a Blue Heron, Western Grebe were all present and the Tern you can’t forget the Tern. When the fishing is good you gotta get fishing.
Fresh new leaves and a pure blue sky are waiting for something that is just like sunshine.
A little Yellow Warbler…just as pure and bright as sunshine.
You kids get off my lawn. Happy Sunday to all.
We spotted many Swainsons Hawks while driving a quiet yet bumpy backroad but this one stood out. Standing tall and alert as a chilly wind more reminiscent of winter than spring puffed up those beautiful white breast feathers.

White faced Ibis foraging in shallow ponds at Bear River National Wildlife Refuge.
It was amazing to see so many Ibis working these ponds to find a days meal.
But as can be expected when food and family are involved a few squabbles are sure to occur. This one was settled quickly and all in all it was a peaceful day watching these brilliantly colored birds go about their business.
