The spring storms keep rolling in and this one is just over the hill. The spring rains provide wetland habitat for migratory birds and a welcome drink for the high sagebrush landscape of Arapahoe National Wildlife refuge near Walden, Colorado.

Red Tailed on a Grey Day
A Red tailed Hawk surveying the fields for prey on an overcast spring morning. Gotta be plenty of mice out there, somewhere. Out in the fields near Laramie, Wy.
Jigsaw Puzzle
Looking out from Canyonlands National Park with the Green River in the distance I see a giant 3D jigsaw puzzle with all the pieces already in place.
Spring Chickadee
With the trees budding out and the air warming up a little Chickadee enjoy their perch on a Saturday afternoon.
Coyote and grass.
Each partially hidden within the grass we were content to observe each other for quite some time. Eventually hunger got the best of us and I headed home for dinner and the coyote off to hunt.
Silhouetted
A Young Bald Eagle chirping away is silhouetted against the grey sky of an overcast day along the snake river in Grand Teton National Park. Happy Friday.
Good Night Heron
Flying off into the sunset we say good night to a Black Crowned Night Heron. Not a bad way to end the day. Photographed with an older, forgotten and long gone, point and shoot camera on an evening walk in Ferndale CA. a few years back.
Willet
A willet enjoys the temporary ponds and the meals within created by spring rain along the front range while migrating to a more suitable habitat along further north.
Land in Sky
Sometimes it takes an uncluttered landscape to see that land and sky are one.
Northern New Mexico. Photographed with a Yashica A-TLR and Kodak Tmax 100iso film.
Wood Thrush
For me the Wood Thrush is a bird I may often hear but seldom seem. Hanging out in those forests deep with green and hidden out of sight they have such a wonderful song. After listening to his song for several minutes this Wood Thrush flew out and landed on a post in a clearing for a minute or two before retuning back into the woods. Love the pudgy belly on this one.
