Two monstrous, jagged peaks south of Leadville, Colorado Petrel against blue-green water

Two monstrous, jagged peaks south of Leadville, Colorado Petrel against blue-green waterWhat an impressive statement these mountains make.

These are cavity nesters and we saw a nesting box being frequented by a Cactus Wren in the parking lot

This heron liked to appear in the morning hours very close to the path

This bird reminded me of our US Juncos

This premium feel moisture-wicking pillow with a shape-retaining insert is just what you're looking for

They were killed for their oil which lit the lamps of their hunters

but I still got to see this one for the first time ever

She became a favorite of our group

unlike the adult

I can't explain it

One of the most gorgeous of hummers

I'm not sure how they get their bills into these curved tubular flowers

There were a few gallinules marching around on their gigantic feet on the floating vegetation near the Spotted Rail
