A fine looking bluebird couple hanging out on a post along the road to Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. This couple was taking a break from chasing away the tree swallows from their nesting box along the road. It seemed like at every nest box along the road similar battles were taking place.

With the snow still flying and a cold wind blowing we were surprised to find a few early arrivals to the marshes near the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge last weekend. One such arrival was this handsome Cinnamon Teal hanging out in last years grass. Walden, CO.

Lark Sparrow

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.
