Eye to eye
Seeing eye to eye with a one of the coyotes who make their homes in a local park.
Just for a moment
The Barn Swallows were busy swirling and whirling in typical swallow fashion hunting for an early season hatch of bugs present in the air above a small lake. Photographing them in flight is always quite the challenge. Luckily for us this guy decided to settle down for a quick rest and landed on a section of barbed wire fence close to us. He stayed there for just a moment making for a relaxed and restful photograph of a bird that seems to be in otherwise constant motion. Near Walden, CO.
Ruminate
When you just have spent the morning eating a big ol’ pile of grass what do you do next…ruminate of course, and while the dictionary example of ruminate is “we sat ruminating on the nature of existence” , this guy appears to figured that question out. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Denver, CO.
Green legs and all
Green legs, red eyes and that funky swimming style, you’ve gotta give some love to the under appreciated American Coot. Photographed in shallow water while looking for a meal along Clear Creek in Denver CO.
Blue Winged Teals
A pair of Blue Winged Teals casting that all too familiar over the shoulder glance letting me know my presence is known. Arapahoe National Wildlife refuge near Walden, CO.
Little Guy
Just as dusk sets in a cute little wren made a visit to the fence in the backyard hopping from picket to picket for just a couple of minutes before taking off into the approaching evening proving the adage that something small and unexpected can make your day.
