No matter how often and for how long, seeing American White Pelicans on alpine lakes in Colorado and Wyoming, in the Sandhills of Nebraska or just in the City of Denver always seems just a bit odd. One of those things you experience over and over and should register as normal but just isn’t. Anyway, this good looking Pelican is perched on Lake John on a cloudy and cold spring day near Walden, CO.

The Barn Swallows were busy swirling and whirling in typical swallow fashion hunting for an early season hatch of bugs present in the air above a small lake. Photographing them in flight is always quite the challenge. Luckily for us this guy decided to settle down for a quick rest and landed on a section of barbed wire fence close to us. He stayed there for just a moment making for a relaxed and restful photograph of a bird that seems to be in otherwise constant motion. Near Walden, CO.

If there are any sparrow experts out there correct me if I am wrong but I believe this is a Lark Sparrow. This was the first time I have seen, or perhaps noticed, one of these guy out at Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. It is always fun to see a new bird.
This Greylag Goose is the Queen/King of the local pond and not at all hesitant to hog all the photo opportunities.
Green legs, red eyes and that funky swimming style, you’ve gotta give some love to the under appreciated American Coot. Photographed in shallow water while looking for a meal along Clear Creek in Denver CO.
The arrival of the Red Winged Black Birds brings life back to the ponds once the overwintering waterfowl have left. This Female is perched and listening to the males who are just now starting to sing their songs. Clear Creek, Denver CO.
