A female Black Bear on the ridge above us made for an exciting end to a morning hike in Colorado. We were looking for Green-tailed Towhees and didn't see any but this was a pretty good consolation prize. #blackbear #coloradowildlife #utevalley #photography #omsystem #om1markii #nature

California Scrub-Jay with a berry about to go down the hatch. I've been waiting for the chance to get a bird with berry shot for some time. This was the first opportunity ever and made my day. #californiascrubjay #birds #nature #Photography #om1markii #omsystem

Yesterday evening 4 different Cooper's Hawks crossed my path. This is also a juvenile looking for a late evening meal at a table and chair on one of the college campuses. I doubt he's on the meal plan. #birds #nature #photography #coopershawk #omsystem #micro43

Immature Cooper's Hawk with a late evening meal. As an accipiter, its broad rounded wings and long tail allow it to expertly hunt through trees and brush. Cooper's are distinguishable by blueish-gray upperparts and a smaller, strongly hooked beak. #birds #nature #coopershawk #omsystem #micro43

This Monarch decided to rest on a plum tree in the yard. With milkweed on both sides of our home, they're usually flying back and forth visiting each set so this was unusual. #monarchbutterfly #butterflies #butterflys #butterfly🦋 #butterflyonleaf #butterflyphotography #nature #omsystem #om1markii

Baby Green Heron looking lonely. Another baby was close by and this one paired up with it. With this heron species, the male selects nest placement and begins the construction before breeding. Afterward he passes the construction to his mate. #birds #greenheron #californiabirds #omsystem
