Waiting ever so patiently to approach the edge of a creek we watched this black Crowned Night Heron sneak up to the edge but to his chagrin we had better luck watching him than he did fishing. Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge in Walden, CO.

Bluebird
A little mountain bluebird right at home in a big blue world. Even when small part of it all.
The Avocet and the tern: a short story.
Imagine you are an American Avocet enjoying a quiet morning in the pond. A bit of feeding and then a little relaxation then a bit of feeding.
Then without warning a Forester’s Tern makes a sudden and unannounced and dramatic visit to your patch of the pond.
Looks like he got what he was after. Just a brief interruption of an otherwise peaceful morning.
Have a wonderful weekend.
