Magpies, like pigeons or gulls. Still so odd to me after living all these months in CO. #birds

Besides I saw deer this morning while looking for birds. The doe and her twins were across the river from our campsite, I just need to get up at 6am to see them. The buck was down river a ways. I felt like I was being watched. I was. #deer #wildlife #colorado

Headed out at 6am to see what animals of Pike Forest were up to. All my osprey photos are blurry, just didn't lock on. Bald eagle was still chillin' next to the nest. No bears or foxes. Some mule deer. Saw this yellow one. Hoped it was the warbler I've been waiting for...it's a goldfinch. #birds

I tried #astrophotography with the #GoPro Hero10 last night. These examples are with minimal edits in post. I'm not mad at the job the GoPro did. I'll try again tonight. Supposed to be less clouds. #milkyway #astro #stars

In the upper right, you can just make out the Merganser and ducklings along the shore. The teen goslings and Canada Geese couple.

The Canada Geese couple in grass with the youngest goslings were in the grass at first. Then hopped in the South Platte River. #birds

Here's another of the babies. 😍

I'm new to living w/ Canada Geese & Merganser ducks. It's been 3 wks. Was surprised & delighted to find a "daycare" down river the other morning. Geese with teens, geese with young goslings, and Merganser mom with ducklings. About 23 babies & 5 parents hanging out. #birds

This handsome fella was tapping around the tree the back window. I think it's a Hairy Woodpecker (thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social). So formal this Sunday afternoon! #birds #canon

Merganser ducklings. Aren't they the epitome of adorable fuzziness? Mom's got her wings full with 9 little ones. #birds #nature #ducks

Finally saw a bird that Merlin identified and I heard. I believe this is a pygmy nuthatch! Upside down in a ponderosa pine. #birds

Day 4 at this boondocking spot in San Juan Forest in CO. This morning, the chipmunks appeared from, what I assume was torpor, to scamper about in springtime excitement! First animals we've seen in days. #spring #chipmunks

Finished Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Wow! The story was unexpected, and elements hit home. I loved it. I cried. My heart beat 💓 quickened. As someone who tends towards nonfiction, it's been a hot minute since a book has had this effect on me. #booksky

I didn't know Viennetta we're still around until I started I started living in #Mexico part time. I remember Mom buying these when I was a kid. They were elegant ice cream.
