Finally getting around to a backlog of pictures, these from a beautiful morning on Manitou Lake with some American white pelicans, and a sassy red-winged blackbird.
There was a pretty good sized pod of American white pelicans swimming peacefully on placid water when we first arrived, but a pesky gull seemed to be deliberately tormenting the big birds.
And that was okay with us, usually the pelicans are fairly boring to shoot but the little gull kept them going.
One little gull was enough to get the massive birds to take flight and give chase. It was quite a spectacle!
There was also a few red-winged blackbirds making a racket. This one seemed to have quite a bit of attitude!
Here are a few more of my favorites from the morning, Hope you enjoy them! I will soon have a few of them available on my website for purchase as prints, gifts and household items.
If you would like to learn where to find our magnificent Colorado wildlife, and how to capture beautiful pictures for yourself, please consider a purchase of my book, Wildlife Photography in the Colorado Rockies. This full size publication is just one of several books I have published, and is filled with dozens of full color glossy pictures of Colorado wildlife, along with valuable tips and tricks for tracking and photographing them! Your purchases of course are a great way to support this site and my work helping to preserve our wild heritage and public forest lands.
