A Prairie Falcon with a morning meal. The magpies eventually managed to evict this threatening predator, sending it off in search of a more peaceful place to dine. Notice the red in the wings of our “red-shafted” Northern Flicker. Here in western North America, the feather shafts and undersides of the wings and tail are red. In eastern North America they are yellow.

It’s no wonder that the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is Colorado’s state mammal. What a magnificent beast! Come find them with us on our Bighorns & Birds tour and celebrate one of Colorado’s greatest conservation success stories.

Our photographer guests often seek hard to find subjects, like this Northern Pygmy-Owl.

Seeing a lifer is always better with the wifey, . We were thrilled to see dozens of Cory’s Shearwaters on our whale watching trip off of Ponta Delgada, São Miguel.

Portugal’s Azores archipelago is home to roughly three-quarters of the world’s breeding Cory’s Shearwaters! These tube-nosed seabirds return in February and March, reuniting with their mates and filling the night with wonderfully strange calls. Each pair lays just one egg, sharing incubation duties and feeding their chick after it hatches in late July.

By October and November, the youngsters are ready to take flight and begin their journey into the Atlantic. But those first flights can be dangerous: artificial lights can disorient them, leaving them stranded on roads and vulnerable to traffic and predators.

Our guide told us he once rescued one from the road and received a few fierce pecks from its sharp beak for his trouble! An understandable response from a frightened bird, even when someone is trying to help.

I haven’t traveled to Europe much and I’ve never seen a European Robin until now. My family and I saw this Robin while vacationing in the Azores. Completely different from our American Robin of the thrush family, the European Robin belongs to the old world flycatcher family, Muscicapidae.

First bird of the day: Great Horned Owl. They never get old, just wiser.

Last Saturday, September 5, our team of 6 - Baca to the Future - headed to the far southeastern corner of Colorado for the Colorado Birding Challenge!

Over the course of the day, we logged 80 species and raised over $1000 for Colorado Field Ornithologists.

Baca county is a fascinating corner of the state, with habitats ranging from shortgrass prairie and canyonlands to pinyon-juniper woodland, sand-sage country, and agricultural fields. We explored as much of it as we could, finding some fantastic birds along the way, including Burrowing Owl, Mississippi Kite, Chihuahuan Raven, Summer Tanager, and Rufous-crowned Sparrow.

And somehow, the trip was perfectly bookended by rainbows - one as we started our adventure and another as we wrapped it up.

What a fun way to spend a Saturday: exploring a lesser-known corner of Colorado with a fun group of friends, finding great birds, and supporting an organization that does so much for Colorado’s birding community.

A huge thank you to all our friends and family who donated to support our team. We appreciate you!

One thing I love about birding is getting the opportunity to observe all kinds of wildlife.

Colorado’s warmer months offer some of our best opportunities to find moose as they browse through willow thickets, mountain meadows, and wetlands. On our summer wildlife and birding tours, we’re always keeping an eye out for these impressive animals and you never know when one might appear around the next bend.

Of course, the best wildlife encounters are respectful ones. We always observe moose from a safe distance, giving them plenty of space while enjoying the privilege of seeing them in their natural habitat.

Come explore Colorado’s wild side with us!
