Ruddy Duck
The amazing blue bill and wonderful red color of a male Ruddy Duck. Photographed on a nice sunny morning at Lake John near Walden, CO.
In Plain Sight
Sometimes things are hidden in plain sight. While on a hike on a busy forest trail we ran across this beautiful Barred Owl sitting in plain sight only a few feet off the trail and perched low in a tree. Innumerable hikers walked right past without noticing. Even when we stopped to take a few photos only a few folks stopped to ask what we were photographing.

So Many Bugs
So Little Time…
Not a bad dilemma for this little Wilson’s Phalarope hunting for breakfast near Walden, CO.
Afternoon Shower

Spring Tanager
A colorful Western Tanager holding still just long enough for a quick portrait. Lovely color to brighten up an overcast spring day. Just outside the North Gate to Yellowstone National park.
Technique
When hunting for limpets it’s all about technique and these two Oyster Catchers seem to have it down. Slide bill under sand and pry limpet up, eat and repeat….limpets beware.
Home in the Forest
A fine pair of Stellar’s Jays enjoying some time in the early spring forrest. Sunshine and fresh green leaves made for a fine morning hike.
