During November, I made several trips to the South Platte River and to Chatfield State Park, so that I can improve some bird photography. Here is a collection of some of the more interesting birds that I re-discovered.
These two Kildeer were chasing each other along the river. I was fortunate to capture the far one as it came to land.
On one day, I spent a couple of hours at Chatfield State Park. This White-Crowned Sparrow spent some 5-10 minutes in one bush, allowing me to capture lots of images. This one bird was the highlight of that visit to the park!
Back to the South Platte on another occasion. There are many Mallards in the South Platte River, year round, so I done often attempt to photograph them. However, sometimes I manage to capture an unusual display.
On that day, I also found a female and male Buffelhead duck.
I found a pair of Mallards feeding. This is the usual position as they dip down to bottom feed in the river. Well timed!
