Winter Wildlife
Here are a few scenes and wildlife images from January 2025 so far. I’m happy to report that I saw my first lifer of 2025, an Eastern Screech Owl! I only have 149 new species to go to meet my goal for this year. I hope I can add a couple more on my trip to Florida later this week - keep you posted!
Please enjoy this gallery from various locations of our beautiful Colorado scenery and wild critters. Please consider joining me at an upcoming walk or event to get your chance to see these scenes too!
