An American Robin Enjoying the fall light in a forest of mixed colors. We have tons of Robing in our area in the spring and early summer and as the young fledge they are absent until Autumn begins. Glad to see they have returned.

A simple summer afternoon on the pond as a cinnamon teal enjoys the summer sun with a muskrat. North Park, Colorado.

Happy to be back online and I am sure we all feel the same about vacations…they are too short.

Summertime Blues

There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues. Well, except for maybe seeing a beautiful summertime Mountain Bluebird.

Who’s Next?

With the wildflowers full of summertime nectar a Hummingbird poses a question, a question other Hummingbirds would be happy to have, who’s next? So many flowers so little time. In a few weeks summer will be winding down in the high country. Rustlers Gulch trail near Crested Butte, CO.

Duck in the Muck

A wood duck in that clumsy adolescent stage enjoying a nice afternoon swim in the summer muck. Looks to me like he is a teenage boy….watch out.

Red Necked Grebe

On July 9, 2015 By Mike and Christy8 Comments

A Red Necked Grebe on her nest somewhere in Colorado. After we saw and photographed this Red Necked Grebe we did a little research and found out through the bird watching grapevine this was the first pair to have ever been reported to be nesting in Colorado. A week latter, in what must have been an attempt to provide this pair some privacy, all information about this pair on the aforementioned birding website had been removed. We hope their nesting was successful and they return again next year.

Ubiquitous?

Well maybe not but close. Everywhere I seem to go the American Robin is there with me. From the backyard to the forest and this day on the coast and finding a juicy meal in the seaweed to boot. West side of Vashon Island, WA.
