Glancing at my bird feeder this morning revealed this Darner perched on the wire that supports the hummingbird feeder. I set up a ladder and climbed to its level for these photos before it flew.

Woo hoo, two lifer weasels for my birthday!

Albino specimen

On the balcony! Wow!

You can't see it in the picture but he has a black tip on his tail.

Not sure what is going on but this is the fourth birder that I know of who has had a phoebe perch on their binoculars or on their person at Commons Ford.

With an Eastern Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta ssp. picta) riding around on its back! Observation here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/39611588.

These cuties were growing like weeds all over the unused campsites in the closed-off portion of the campground. I guess they like disturbed areas with no to little competition from other plants.

Chipmunk feeding at St Elmo !
Catching up with old photos :-)

No, they only have two sets of wings, not three.

Albino!

This dragonfly was seen perched on a reed in a small pond formed by Wonderland Creek in northeast Boulder. Rare in Colorado.

This dragonfly was hovering over the intersection of a sandy run that had formed along a forest trail and a seep that crossed the trail as it went downslope towards a small river.

FINALLY got a good picture of one of the two flickers that's been in my yard.
