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.

Near Norris
With the spring snowmelt the Gibbon river overflows its banks reveling a beautiful wetland near Norris in Yellowstone National Park.
Morning Drink
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.
Distant Glow
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.
Ravens, fog and rock
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.
Eight
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.
Against the odds.
Nature has a way if left to its own accord.
Sunlight, Wind and Trees
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.
Storm on the tracks
Storm moving down the track in New Mexico.

I love being able to photograph these guys, such an interesting bird. Taken while driving the backroads of Weld county, CO.
