A nice pair of Goldeneye preening, looking like they have broken necks! They have some amazing positions.

I watched this Bald Eagle for quite a while as it rested and waited and watched from it's perch, until it decided to take-off.

More Eagle photos here...

Coyote

The coyote is in a hurry because he was flushed by some dogs which weren't on the leash. He ran straight at me and then saw me at the last minute and turned and ran even faster!

I was pleased since usually coyotes around me are sleeping, unusual to find one in a hurry!

More photos here...

Sunset at Latham reservoir and searching for Short-eared Owls, just as the sun set at 5pm the owls suddenly appeared swooping and diving over the reed beds. Amazing sight but tough to photograph. I did get some nice Red-winged Blackbird photos in the golden light though.

A young bald eagle did a fly by over me today so I was pleased to get this and other shots. I also filmed a muskrat and found a red tailed hawk's nest.

Wood Ducks

Only the mandarin duck is more colourful than the wood duck, and it is a great priviledge to be able to film wood ducks in the wild. They also interestingly nest in holes in trees and then the baby ducks when they fledge have to jump to the ground, something that I would love to film one day.

A very rare visitor to Colorado and I was lucky enough today to find it and get some photos. Quite exciting.

I was out looking for a rare Red-shouldered Hawk today and came across a nest of raccoons about 30 feet up in a cottonwood tree, while I've seen this behaviour in Costa Rica I haven't seen it before in Colorado.
