Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Yesterday we took the mother in law and my brother in law to the Zoo. It was a great time, and the animals all took pity on my brother in law who only had his 18-55 lens with him. It was like they knew, they all came down to the front.
Lizards, Pelicans, and Herons
All in All, a good day at the Nature Center.
Hummingbird Festival
okay, so we went to the hummingbird festival. We saw lots of cool stuff, but sadly IÂ only took pictures of the awesome birds from the Pueblo Raptor Center. In my defense, I got some REALLY good images.
Spring Hawks
My favorite pair of Red Tails are back on their nest. Here is a few shots of them, and their neighbor from down the road.
Juvenile Red Tail
I spotted this Juvenile Red Tailed Hawk today at lunch near Quail Lake.
Backyard Blue Jays
My Sister in law got me a corn cob holder to feed the local squirrels after they ran off with our suet cage. Laurie has been feeding the local Blue Jays.
Great Horned Owl
Tonight my wife caught this guy (or gal) sitting on the neighbors roof.
Late August Hummer
I went over to Starsmore today at lunch. Have not been over there in a while. It’s a very sunny day today, so I knew I’d have lots and lots of lunch. The hummingbirds were out in full force.
Manitou Lake
We actually got up and going at a decent time today, that’s pretty amazing for us on a Saturday. We got some stuff finished up in the yard, Home Depot installed the new microwave, and I packed a lunch and we hit the road. We ended up at Rampart Reservoir where we got rained on. The fire damage up there is amazing, heart breaking really for such a beautiful area. We left there, stopped in woodland park for a bit, then ended up at Manitou Lake. We saw some Pelicans, a beaver, and a few other fun birds.
