A Raven soaring below us high on the cliffs along the Oregon Coast.
Freedom to roam is freedom indeed.
Mountain Goat
One of my favorite animals is the Mountain Goat so I was pleased to be able to spend some time watching a few feeding down low in Yellowstone National Park one late spring afternoon. Usually we need the spotting scope just to get a glimpse of these guys feeding high up on the steep cliff faces but this day we got lucky and were able to get fairly close. Beautiful animals for sure.
The Gangs All Here
These guys just look like they are up to something. This group of American White Pelicans was hanging out on the banks of the snake river in Grand Teton National Park and photographed as we floated by in our kayaks.
Sage and Sky
Big fields of sage deserve a big sky. Taken while looking for birds in the Arapahoe National Wildlife refuge in Northern Colorado.
Western Grebe
A Western Grebe preening, cleaning and having fun on the water of Walden Reservoir in Northern Colorado.
Snipe
Thank goodness for fence poles.
A nice looking Wilson’s Snipe singing away on a fence post along a small county road in Southern Wyoming. Photographed while on the way to Hutton Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
Wabbit
Spring time is Rabbit time. Last weekend we saw plenty of healthy rabbits roaming the sagebrush and grasslands of the Arapahoe Wildlife Refuge as well as plenty of Hawks looking for an easy meal. Luckily for this guy he stayed on guard and was reluctant to stray too far from the cover of the sage.
Ruddy Duck
The amazing blue bill and wonderful red color of a male Ruddy Duck. Photographed on a nice sunny morning at Lake John near Walden, CO.
In Plain Sight
Sometimes things are hidden in plain sight. While on a hike on a busy forest trail we ran across this beautiful Barred Owl sitting in plain sight only a few feet off the trail and perched low in a tree. Innumerable hikers walked right past without noticing. Even when we stopped to take a few photos only a few folks stopped to ask what we were photographing.
