Cormorant And Others, South Platte River

The last weekend, a cold front arrived, giving us a break from the hot weather. After completing chores around the yard, I headed down to the Platte River, at Reynold’s Landing. Overcast skies provided some great lighting and maybe there would be some interesting birds along the river. Soon after arriving, I found this Cormorant diving for fish.

I don’t know whether the bird found any fish, and soon took flight. On second thoughts, maybe my presence disturbed its fishing routine.

Upstream, I noticed a Great Blue Heron wading along the far bank. The heron did not stay for long; probably disturbed by some visitors with their dog closer to the its location.

Walking along the river bank, several House Wrens were rummaging through the bushes and calling. I made my way towards their sounds. Here I found 3 immature wrens. Also, there was an adult close by, maybe a parent, that I captured in this image.

In the bushes, and along the river banks, there were plenty of birds singing and calling out across both river banks. However, most of the birds were hidden from view.
