Loving life in Colorado with KDM. Passionate about the natural world, especially birds, and preserving and conserving our world. Obsessed with photography and documenting the beauty of nature, especially birds. All photographs are my own except reposts.
Spent a couple of weeks in Nueces County. Loved the summery temps (high 80s to low 90s) and loved this beautiful Snowy Egret soaring above me at Suter Wildlife Refuge in Corpus Christi, Texas.

This is not a bird. However, I enjoyed taking its portrait while in Croatia in early July. I think it is called a Bladetail. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could correct this if I am wrong.

A few of the highlights this morning while birding at Chatfield State Park, Colorado. Up close and personal with a Bee-fly, Horned Lark, Lark Buntings, and a sweet Western Kingbird. I LOVE the birding life.

I spent the first half of July in Europe. It was an amazing experience. Of course, everywhere I went I was looking for birds. In Venice, Italy, I saw these incredible African Sacred Ibis flying overhead and all through the city were the ever-present yellow-legged gulls.

A little backyard birding. This little Rufus Hummingbird and young American Goldfinch caught my eye! Thankfully, my camera is usually nearby.

Great-tailed Grackles. One seems totally unconcerned and the other is quite distraught.

One of my favorite shore birds at a favorite birding location! These two Black-necked Stilts were enjoying the nice afternoon at Laguna Madre, Texas. They are so striking with their long bright pink legs.
