Renowned Colorado wildlife photographer and author advocating for our wild living legacy
The birds are back in town... at least they are at Manitou Lake. Our short adventure there yesterday yielded, blue heron, American white pelican, red-winged blackbirds, hummingbirds, an osprey, and one ground squirrel looking for a meal.
Lauren Boebert's extreme anti-wolf bill, deceptively named bill, "Pet and Livestock Protection Act" has unfortunately passed a full house vote. The bill actually has little to do with protecting pets and livestock, and is instead a thinly veiled attempt to destroy the wildly successful Endangered Species Act and launch a vicious attack on one of nature's most important apex animals.
For many of you who have been following my blog for many years, the Three Amigos are a familiar sight. But after a long cold winter, it always brings my heart joy to see them in the spring, happy, healthy, and still together after almost a decade of following them.
Finally getting to my May newsletter, after a month of hard work on my new substack account. May has been an exciting month, with the end of the long Colorado winter, and the return of many species of birds to the high country rivers and lakes.
I wasn't sure if I was going to write the final installment of my historical fiction wildlife novels, following Spirit of the Wolf and Thundering Hooves. However, the wildlife situation in the nation has taken such a horrific turn under the Trump administration that I feel compelled to complete the series.
WE HAVE EAGLETS - Mama eagle has remained in the nest long past the projected hatch date, so we assumed there were baby eagles to care for. But was it one, two, three? We didn't know until now, but I have confirmed there are at least two!
May finds us on the precipice of an unimaginable ecological catastrophe. Mining, ranching and hunting interests have aligned with the new administration in an all out blitz to strip away all reasonable environmental and species protections. The judiciary in it's zeal to oppose every trivial move Trump makes, is setting itself up to forfeit it's power on issues that actually matter.
Fox Family Healthy and Strong - For those of you who have been following, I'm glad to report mom and dad, and all six pups are doing well!
With all the new life popping up all over the Rocky Mountains, it's getting difficult to keep up with all the picture processing!
God was smiling down upon me yesterday when an elk herd appeared out of nowhere to give me an opportunity to finish a video I've been working on!
