Jan. 21st, 2012: waterbirds along the South Platte River

[ferine]

Heh, I almost forgot about the rest of this batch. When I left off last time, it was with both group photos and personal shots of me, the boys, and Erik. All of the pictures were uploaded out of order, so I'm grouping them by subject matter. First up, waterbirds galore!

Yes! My first American Coot sightings of the year. I love my coots. The second sequence with the coot turning around in the slushy water and taking off is neat.










Chilly gulls and vibrant duckies:




So pretty; such electric colors! Nature's cool. >:-D
