Weld Highlights

I'm finding Lower Latham to be the treasure-trove everyone's told me it would be. I wish it were closer to home; I feel like every moment spent there is worthwhile! Some highlights from the last couple of weeks (along with a few from Fort Collins...)


Oodles of Yellow-Headed Blackbirds



Some looks at a new favorite, Wilson's Phalarope:








Avocet (this one in Fort Collins)



White-Faced Ibis


Marsh Wren Acrobatics...



Mountain Plover


Western Kingbird


and my first House Wren this Spring

Joy Out East

Unexpected Fabulousness: the bird I've been most hoping to see for the first time this Spring, the Black-Necked Stilt:





These little guys were hanging out with the stilts:


Other highlights today:


Brad's Pheasant photo


Excitable Yellow Headed Blackbirds..
(probably just excited to have a break from the rain!)


My first Yellow-Rumped Warbler of the year...


And at Lower Latham, a Marsh Wren's nest.
Need a little help?


:)


Finished the day with some White-Faced Ibises at Drake Lake.
