04_29_2010 More bird photos

Dave has been busy outside on the Spring-like days getting more fun photos. Though it's snowing a lot still, the spring flowers are blooming - Daffodils, Tulips, etc.

He came home recently knowing he'd photographed a new singer. And he had. The first bird shown here is an Ash-Throated Flycatcher. He got enough shots of this bird that we could make a positive ID. I find some of the flycathers real ID challenges!

I especially like the ducks and coots taking off in the lake. I can almost hear the commotion that is shown in this photo.

How can anyone resist not showing some more photos of the flatirons? This shot is especially cool because of the storm creeping in from the south. Wonder if this is one of those "It's Spring, no it's not" moment?

With all the snow and lots of rain, the creeks are overflowing. Eldorado Springs is very high and many new creeks are showing up. It makes for some nice opportunities to get some moving water shots. They're really lovely.

I think you get the picture though. Spring is trying to spring. Birds are singing. Storms are brewing. Creeks are flowing. Rocks are rocking?

Ha!
