Spring arrives – or not!

The calendar says it should be spring… but today its 25 degrees and blowing snow!  Of course, yesterday was a record high in Colorado at 84 degrees!  The birds think its spring – they have started their annual nest building/repairing, mating, and will soon lay eggs in those nests.  From Florida, where the egrets had begun nesting in St Augustine 3 weeks ago to Jackson, WY this past week where the great gray owls had begun gathering in their mating rituals.

Both trips provided me with new images of subjects I’ve wanted before, but never photographed in early spring.

Great egrets have fascinating breeding plummage – they look so light and airy – delicate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great gray owls were still working in record snowfall in the northwest Wyoming areas.
