Merlin
This Merlin was sitting quietly on a post along the road near Walden Colorado. We stopped for a few quick photos and were quickly on our way leaving him to enjoy a chilly May afternoon.

Savannah Sparrow
One of my favorite songbirds of the grasslands is the Savannah Sparrow. I am always happy to hear the male singing from on top of sagebrush or other small shrubs in the places we go.

Blue Grey Gnatcatcher
What an amazing looking little bird to spend some time watching. He hopped around from branch to branch and getting a photo or two seemed in the end pure luck.
All about birds had this to say “A tiny, long-tailed bird of broadleaf forests and scrublands, the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher makes itself known by its soft but insistent calls and its constant motion” and it sure fit this guys behavior to a tee.

Hot Landing
With a huge tailwind it sure appeared this little Tree Swallow was coming in a bit hot to make this landing on the barbed wire fence.
They quickly make a one legged grab and then..
pulled in the other leg for a perfect landing.
All’s well that ends well and a nod of approval from you companion never hurts.

Songs of Spring
Listening to a a song Sparrow singing the praises of Spring is a fine way to spend a weekend morning.
Happy Saturday to all.
Long Billed Curlew
This was the first time I have had the pleasure to see a Long Billed Curlew and one I will always remember. What an amazing bill these birds have and it is perfectly suited to finding food in the grassy-marshy environments they habit.
This bird foraged in the field for a bit but did not stay around very long. Flying with a bill that long must be a feat in and of itself yet when this bird departed their flight was as elegant as could be.
