At the edge of the many ponds brought about by the spring melt in North Park avocets were hanging out and feeding in the shallow water. It was a treat to see up to 5 or 6 in a single area. This photo was taken on a small pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Does this make the Avocets Refugees?
We found a nice sized group of these guys feeding in shallows ponds created by the the recent rain and snowmelt in Northern Colorado. What a beautiful bird.
With the spring snowmelt the Gibbon river overflows its banks reveling a beautiful wetland near Norris in Yellowstone National Park.
A female moose enjoying an early morning drink. This weekend we went out looking for migratory birds but, in addition, sighted several female moose in the flooded willows and streams of north park, including one that had just calved. Not bad for just being out on a Sunday drive.

While it was getting dark and a wee bit chilly at our campsite near the Rasmussen glacier, the sun was still shining brightly on the Karle glacier around the corner casting an orange glow in the distance that warmed my chilly bones. Photographed while kayaking in East Greenland last summer.
A pair of ravens having a chat on a foggy morning near Ucluelet, BC. They were probably discussing the pair of eagles in the trees above or maybe the grey whale swimming by below.
Mom is giving these youngsters a bit of freedom but still maintaining the ever watchful eye. A textbook study in good parenting if I do say so myself.
Nature has a way if left to its own accord.
Outside the relative calm of the forest the wind was blowing and the sun was shining a perfect golden light. Nothing out of place in this forest near the ocean on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
