Spring critters return!

Great to see the first Hummers of the year, along with the return of the songbirds and lizards!

Red-tailed Hawk couple 4_26

At the beginning of April, I noticed a pair of Red-tailed Hawks soaring above the greenbelt. I also spotted them sitting in the junipers, as well as carrying sticks up into a tall Aspen where they were building a nest (or maybe reinforcing an abandoned one). A week ago a storm moved in and we had a powerful micro-burst of wind. Since then, I haven’t seen them around the nest so they may have found another spot with more protection.

Bike adventures 4_6_26

Taking the new eBike out for its paces and recording the sights. I’m also including a hike to the greenbelt graffiti art in a road underpass. Finally, a video of the Skyway Rail and a dust devil!

March coyotes

We have a pair of coyotes who regularly hunt our greenbelt. I’ve named them Fred and Ethel and I think Ethel (who has a slightly lighter coat of fur) is expecting. They join the other predators like the pair of harriers and now a pair of red tail hawks. Hopefully they’re feasting on the mice, pack rats and even the fat Gunnison Prairie Dogs that populate the area. The dog pictured looks flustered!

No foolin’… finally some rain!

Not near enough to make up for this year’s drought, but it was very welcome 1 inch.
