Many deer, antelope and turkeys along Elbert Rd from Kiowa to Hwy 24 yesterday. Reba barked at all she saw.
Mrs bo saw her first "bloody rack" on a trophy size 5 pt buck crossing the road at Peaceful Valley.
All the animals looked very healthy.
The snow storm has brought a number of interesting birds around the house. This morning a Blue Jay joined the local Steller's Jays. We will sometimes see Blue Jay or two in May and September. Also this morning was this Band-tailed Pigeon. They are a native mountain pigeon that mostly nest in ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, and not so much in the higher elevation Englemann spruce and sub alpine fir.
The Steller's Jay in the pics is a juvenile that is in distress and not doing well. The puffed up feathers are a sign of cold and stress. It's unusual for these hardy mountain birds.

I recently bought a trailer from a neighbor not too far away and their neighbors were there for a visit.

this guy has been hanging out in my yard the last few days. bad lighting(cheap kit mega zoom lens) but got to watch him fight a snake then feast
Is that the snake wrapped around his leg? That's pretty cool. Nice catch.
That is a snake wrapped around his leg. If you watch all the photos in a row, you see nothing the frame by frame the snake moving up it’s leg and the hawk trying to get it off. Ending the a few grams from that one the hawk ripping something off the snake and it going limp.
In my back yard, I'm amazed at the diversity of birds around here, makes me want to invest in a decent camera.
