North East Colorado Field Trip

Day One Highlights:

The neatest experience today was watching two immature Mississippi Kites food begging in Sterling. We couldn't find them for awhile - we could only see adults circling above. Just after we located the two immature birds, Mom (or Dad) came in with a snack. Here's a few shots:



The expression on Mom's (or Dad's) face above makes me laugh!


Off to find some more...




We stopped at the hotel and discovered


The Hotel Bat.

We went off searching for more shore birds...


Pelicans never get dull.


Wilson's Phalaropes


Unimpressed Prairie Rattlesnake


Most of us missed out on the Barn Owl, but we
had this spider as consolation...



Goodnight Pelicans!
