With things quieting down for the evening we found a Northern Flicker sitting quietly facing into the glow of the evening light.
No Drumming, singing or calling just a silent sunset.

Those Blue eyes.
A Double-crested Cormorant heading our way as they foraged in some shallow water of a temporary pond.
Love the blue eyes these of birds. Heck, we find the eyes of cormorants fascinating wether they are blue, green or red eyes. Watching them swim through the water with bodies riding low, diving and then swallowing their catch with a single gulp is something we always love to observe.
The pace of place
Finding a place where time moves at a pace.
Just the right pace.
A pace that feels like home.
Wild Iris
This year the spring rains have been generous and brought an abundance of Wild Iris to the high arid grasslands of Northern Colorado. Will the wet summer continue or will things dry out. Only time will tell.
Soft
A Say’s Phoebe sat in the distance, perhaps too far for a nice trip photo, but something about the scene exuded softness. The bird, the background seemed to become one and sometimes soft is A-OK.
You know who
A conversation with a Great Horned Owl is a pleasant way to start the morning.
Wind in his hair
An Osprey sits holding onto a, well, not so attractive, rock as the wind blows through their hair ( feathers of course).
Savanah Sparrow
A Savannah Sparrow looking a bit like an extension of the thorny shrub upon which they had perched.
Someone to look up to.
These guys seem to be buddies. In fact, more often than not, I see the Pelicans hanging with the cormorants on this island while kayaking at oxbow bend in Teton National Park.
Around the bend
And around again.
So it goes.
Ah, So it goes.
