Cormorants have been catching trout like crazy lately on the South Platte River here. Their hooked beaks ensure they don't miss! Got this shot two days ago. #Colorado #Birds 🪶

I felt like a voyeur when I interrupted this Red-Lored Amazon Parrot pair in a bout of passion. Of course, that didn't stop me from clicking away!😄 #California #birds 🪶

A rare treat the other day of watching a Red-Tailed Hawk drinking water in the river, even if he is a bit messy. Late afternoon light and reflections a bonus! #Colorado #birds 🪶

One of the most underrated birds for its beauty is the Green-winged Teal, especially in flight, as I luckily captured it here over the South Platte River. #Colorado #birds 🪶

Rare for here Long-tailed Duck constantly dives into the river looking for food. Oddly, only adult males have a long tail (this is a female or immature) #Colorado #birds 🪶

Buffleheads are small ducks that seem to fly at lightning speed. I was fortunate to photograph this one that cruised right by me over the South Platte River. #Colorado #Birds 🪶

When an eagle flies right at you, you snap the camera and hope it's in focus! #Colorado #birds 🪶

Intro here. Just switched from you-know-where. Colorado photographer (mostly birds) and entrepreneur. Really hoping level of toxicity is WAY lower here. Below is a sample photo of mine taken last week. Sunset produced vivid magenta reflection in water. #birdphotography #colorado
