There have been some Pelicans hanging out at Fountain Creek Nature Center. I went down there at lunch today. I guess I can probably blame “finding nemo”, whenever I do a pelican voice in my head, it has to have an Australian accent.

First Bees of Spring
well, not THE first ones-but the first ones I saw on flowers. It’s quite fun seeing how close you can get without pissing off the bees.
Sunrise on the High Plains
Friday morning we had the right mix and the right level of clouds for a great sunrise. enjoy!
A nice day at the Nature Center
Even though it was a balmy 90 degrees in Fountain, we went to the Nature Center for a nice walk. I think Brady may have enjoyed the stroll through Big R more than the nature center, Big R has AC!
Red Tailed Hawk Nest
Pretty sure this is the nest. I did, before I had my camera in my hands, get to see the hawks run off a Great Blue Heron who had landed in the tree near the nest. Always fun to see a blue heron land on a tree limb, all wings and legs.
Blue Heron on a Grey Day
I was at Quail Lake for Lunch, the Herons were both there. I swear my wife has talked to these two birds, every time I get within 50′ they fly away. I managed to sneak up on one down in the corner by the dock.
Sunny day Hawk
this guy was skittish as all get out, bolted when I got to close from the other side of the creek (approx 150 yards). He did however briefly fly right over head, once.
Sunny February Day
It was a gorgeous sunny day today, temp hit 60 before the wind started to pick up. we took the dogs down to the park for a long walk. We saw a few critters along the way.
Various shots from the week
I was out looking for hawks on thursday, I got a glimpse of one who bolted when he saw me. He’s flying away from me but I still like the color in his tail. The crow was in the park, I thought he had a peanut. I guess the crow thinks he’s a raptor. The sunset tonight was nice, as was the moonset.
Bambi and friends
Fountain Creek today at lunch. LOTS of deer.
