This little fuzzball is just learning to fly and hence spent a bit of time on the ground this day.

Robins Return
There is no doubt spring is here when you are awoken at 5:00am by a chorus of Robins singing outside your bedroom window. It is a wonderful sound, unless of course you were planning to sleep in that day or by chance you get a Robin who can’t sing so sweet and decides your chimney is the place to be, as we did a few years ago.
Hi Boys
As the old saying goes…it takes two to tango. Last week it was the male Hooded Mergansers performing on the pond for a somewhat non receptive female.This week the female appears at least a wee bit interested in the growing selection of males as they swim around the pond head bobbing to get her attention.
Prowling the banks
Looks like Duck or Goose may be on the menu as a Coyote prowls the banks of the Platte River in search of a meal.

One last time
A simple landscape and one that became a close friend.
Close but not far enough away as the city came crashing in.

Black on Blue
On a crisp and sunny February morning we spent some time watching a group of Crows playing around on an iced over lake. We were unable to tell what they were doing even after half an hour of observation. Could it have been looking for food, either embedded into the ice, or under it? Or were they just admiring their handsome reflections on the ice? Or who knows what. Anyway, it was fun to observe them walking ever so gingerly to avoid slipping around and peering into the ice for a reason we were unable to determine.
A walk in the park
Sit right down and enjoy the view from an open seat on this park bench.
Cottonwoods and open fields and maybe a bird or two you never know what you’ll see.
