Males, display colorful plumage attracting females for mating.
Searching for the “right” location to build a nest.
Females and males hunt for food to feed their young.
On a cloudy day, I captured these photos west of Loveland at a natural area called Bobcat Ridge. Flocks of Chipping Sparrows and American Goldfinches flitted in the Cottonwood and Crabapple trees, swooping down to eat in a beautiful field of Dandelions.
The next time you bend down to remove a Dandelion from your yard, take a moment to consider leaving it there to feed the numerous migrating and nesting birds that feed on these herbaceous perennial plants. The Dandelion is a beneficial food source for them.

~It was a Llama kind of day…
My friend Linda and I decided we needed a photo day, so we headed west (toward Rocky Mountain National Park) out of Loveland to see what we could find to shoot. We happened upon not one, but two Llama farms. These gals and guys are fun to photograph.
What a lovely day!

~Nesting Great Blue Herons
A Photo Essay
This Great Blue Heron nest is on private property. We were allowed to walk into their field a short distance. I was too far away from the tree for quality photos, but they tell a story! It is nice this tree is secluded.
I hope you enjoy their story.

This beautiful Mom has four babies to feed. What a gorgeous sight, watching this Great Horned Owl with her young. Not the best quality photos, but they give you an idea of the size of the nest, the Mom and one of her babies. Two of the four babies are much larger. I was told that she is a good Mom and is feeding all four well.
A fun morning spent with a friend taking these photos in the beautiful Colorado Rockies!
