Ghosts on the Pond
As the evening light was moving in a large group of Eared Grebes seemed almost ghostlike, not quite shadows or fully silhouetted but visible with just the slightest details present. Present but not fully. Taken at twilight on a quiet pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge.
Flight
These swallows were busy foraging for dinner over lake John near Walden, CO. Watching them forage that evening was a lesson in flight itself.
A-dee-dee-dee
Nothing better in the morning that sitting with you cup of coffee and listening to the chikadees calling back and forth. This good looking bird was picking through the cattails and having a great time.
Clear Cut
This Coot was busy as a bee harvesting all the tender young growth from the tops of these plants on a local pond one afternoon. We watched him swim from plant to plant getting quite the meal.
Mission accomplished!
Finch and Flowers
A happy female house finch. Perhaps picking a bouquet or lunch?
Mergansers
A trio of common mergansers heading off into the early evening sunlight on the snake river in GTNP, WY. Sounds like a great way to start the weekend to me.
Owlets
A pair of great horned owlets. One shy and one not so shy staying close to home in a beautiful old cottonwood tree.
In The Willows
You never know what you will find hidden in the willows is what this guy was probably thinking when he noticed we were peeking in from the edge of his terrain. It always amazes me just how easy a creature the size of the moose can disappear from your sight with a simple step or two into the willows. Photographed near Cottonwood pass in Colorado.
Duck On The Menu
Looks like a nice little feast of Merganser leg for this Bald Eagles dinner judging from the bill barely visible in the grass. Photographed while kayaking on the Snake River in GTNP.
