Just this week the Robins have returned and the pre-dawn singing outside the bedroom window has started. His tune seems a bit rough right now, but heck, it’s early and this guy is just perfecting his song. Practice makes perfect.

A Sparrow’s Song
Join in and sing along.
Horace
Don’t know why but we named this guy Horace. Love his dirty beak. Canylonlands NP, Utah.
Last of the day
We spotted this Belted Kingfisher catching the last rays of late February sunlight as we were near the end of an afternoon walk. We regularly see a Kingfisher along this stretch of the river but it is very mindful of our presence and usually keeps just out of photo range. This day we were able to get a step closer but just barley close enough for a photo. Clear Creek, Denver CO.
Pronghorn
While we were taking photos of bison off in the distance a pronghorn walked right behind me and started feeding before giving me the once over.
First Finch
It may be close to March but it feels like mid-to-late April. The tulips are pushing up leaves before the crocus have bloomed and the Finches have displaced the Junco and Chickadee in the trees round the neighborhood.
Fast Forward
Although it might be several months before we see an American Avocet it sure feels like their arrival is right around the corner. February this year has felt more like late spring than late winter.

Ice Capades
Last weekend we watched numerous crows scooting, slipping and sliding around on the frozen lake ice looking for food. They kept cawing to each other and it sure looked like they were having a great time.
A good flap.

Meet Lefty
Lefty standing stoic and tall even with his right arm gone. He is one of my best friends at a nearby local park silently whispering advice each time I walk by.
