Mid Summer Wildlife in the Rockies

Mountain Bluebird

I know my July newsletter is a bit late, in fact tomorrow will be August. Summer photography is a struggle for me, the sunrise is way too early, all the good wildlife locations are crowded with tourists, and the animals scarce. However, in just the last few days beautiful song birds have returned to my usual hikng location, and the pelicans have reappeared at Manitou Lake. Stay tuned to my blog though, on the 1st of August, we will be visiting the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Area in search of burrowing owls and snowy egret!

Mid Summer in the Rockies

I'm always glad when the Independence Day holiday is in the rear view mirror. Some of the summertime tourist furor dies down, and I can finally get into a warm weather routine.  The animals too, seem to sense the change in pace and begin to settle in to some kind of predictable balance.

June Wildlife Photography Newsletter

Red-tailed hawk

May was a great month for wildlife photography in the Pikes Peak region. Many birds have returned to the Pikes Peak region, including mountain blue birds, many species of sparrow, hummingbirds, swallows and much more. We are still looking forward to the return of the snowy egret, which we have yet to spot this season.

The Amigos Return

Three Amigos

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.

May Newsletter

Great Blue Heron

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.

We Have Eaglets

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!

A New Year of Photography

A new year of photography is off to a great start with the birds of Eleven Mile Canyon in Southern Colorado. The bald eagles are back in the canyon, red-winged blackbirds are migrating, and I saw a northern shrike hunting in the meadow.

Winter Wildlife Photography

Coyote in Snow

Had a good couple of days with some winter wildlife photography using my mirrorless Canon R7. I considered making this post about shooting winter wildlife with a mirrorless camera, so I came up with this... It's just like shooting winter wildlife with a DSLR, so do what you did then. Which is also what I said when DSLR cameras came out. It's just like shooting wildlife with your SLR film camera, so just do what you were doing then. Lol, but then it was pointed out to me that not everyone started shooting wildlife with a 35mm film SLR, and some people never even had a DSLR, so there is that.

Another Bighorn Sheep Adventure

Bighorn Sheep Ram

It's the prime time of year for the bighorn sheep rut season. The weather was forecast to be obliging, so we loaded up the bikes and traveled to Waterton Canyon for another bighorn sheep adventure.
