Common Yellowthroat
Perched in the marsh with the cattails still brown from the previous year a Common Yellowthroat begins to set up shop.
Happy spring to one and all.
White faced Ibis
We photographed this White Faced Ibis which appeared to be roosting in a small lake on a cloudy morning. We had never seen Ibis on this lake and in fact very rarely see them in our area at all. About 10 minutes after we photographed them the flock took off and we have yet to see Ibis on this lake again.

From a tree on the fields edge
While the Prairie Dogs were busy excavating new dens and scurrying about this Hawk stood watch from the edge of the field waiting for their next meal. We stopped to watch for quite some time and although in our estimation the opportunity for a meal did present itself the Hawk the Hawk thought otherwise yet kept their silent watch.

Spring Chickadee
Along the River near Fruita, CO a Chickadee enjoys the arrival of spring. We are not so far along in the Front Rage of Colorado but a car makes a good time machine propelling you forward several weeks in just a fews hours time.
A promise fulfilled
It’s always nice to have something you can count on. Although it may not always occur on your schedule or terms nature always makes good on the promise of spring.

Return of morning light
Both this Male House Finch and I are happy to see the return of morning light. It is nice to have a few minutes of sunshine before scurrying off to work. Me to the office and the Finch to the feeder across the year. Too bad it is short lived as we switch to daylight savings time this weekend just as the daylight comes.
