This Greylag Goose is the Queen/King of the local pond and not at all hesitant to hog all the photo opportunities.

Green legs and all
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.
Guys…She’s Listening
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.
Handcrafted?
Handcrafted?…..no way…this wonder was made with a beak.
Last years Oriole nest none the worse for wear.
Soon the trees will bud out and the leaves will conceal the nests from view.

After the snow.
Last week spring came unsprung and it was wonderful.
Brrrrr…….
Yesterday ended with an afternoon walk in t-shirt and shorts. Today is another story and the beauty of springtime in the Rockies.
Photographed several years ago but this morning I was shoveling wet sloppy snow and cleaning off the cars for a drive to work not getting off a ski lift but a snowy day is a beautiful day nonetheless.
Even on a cloudy day
Even on the cloudiest of days a Meadowlark sings it song. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Denver, CO.
The Robin Returns
Just this week the Robins have returned and the pre-dawn singing outside the bedroom window has started. His tune seems a bit rough right now, but heck, it’s early and this guy is just perfecting his song. Practice makes perfect.
Last of the day
We spotted this Belted Kingfisher catching the last rays of late February sunlight as we were near the end of an afternoon walk. We regularly see a Kingfisher along this stretch of the river but it is very mindful of our presence and usually keeps just out of photo range. This day we were able to get a step closer but just barley close enough for a photo. Clear Creek, Denver CO.
First Finch
It may be close to March but it feels like mid-to-late April. The tulips are pushing up leaves before the crocus have bloomed and the Finches have displaced the Junco and Chickadee in the trees round the neighborhood.
