Yep Common Loon in winter plumage. Very nicely shot
Thank you Jack, fun to capture a not so common bird at Lake Pueblo.

I spotted this bird along the shoreline at Lake Pueblo, CO.
Maybe a Common Loon in winter plumage.

The first two images are ravens with radio transmitters. I thought it was odd to see two ravens perched side by side with transmitter antennas showing. Otherwise I rather like the third image in download. I hope you enjoy.
These are beautiful images of a pair of Common Ravens which mate for life.
They can put on a great show affection when sitting together like you first image.
They also put on great flight shots by flying in sync. They very smart birds and
show a talent for problem solving. Thank you for sharing Dan, I really enjoyed these.

Eye color is not a diagnostic feature. Overall the bird is just too dainty, and there is the obviously the square tail. Cooper's Hawks are robust birds with heavy bills and an aura of power that Sharpies just don't have. In the old days we called it jizz, the overall impression of the bird. I am content with my call.
Thank you Jack for your expert identification. I think this hawks bill was
smaller than a post back from fall 2023 'Hawk in a downpour' which I
identified as a Coopers hawk. That was also larger than this current post.

Nice! - but is that not a "Sharpie"??
Thank you for your 'Nice' comment. After using the UHH search for both
now I am unsure. I'll go with what Jack has to say after he takes a look
at the front view, I know he is a expert on hawks.

Beautiful, I believe that is a Sharp-shinned Hawk
How about the front view. I believe that the Sharp-Shinned has orange eye's and
the Coopers Hawk has yellow eye's. This one has yellow eyes, that is what I saw.
The stripes on the chest are different and the Coopers Hawk has rounded tail feathers
while the Sharp-Shinned has a square tail. The tail is totally soaked, I couldn't tell
if it was square or rounded.

When there is snow falling that can indicate a Coopers Hawk will
be hanging out near backyard bird feeders.
I spotted this one in my backyard, took these thru a patio
door window.

Probably rides like a Snow Cat, but maybe less noisy.
Probably less noisy than his 1 ton work truck's, also rams.

I have a couple of boys who would love that rig!
This rig is one of the boy's, at least most of the year,
then he is driving a 3/4 ton ram pickup-up truck.

Thank you for taking a look Tom. I didn't get much snow yesterday, maybe 3 inches,
most all of that melted since my high was 37 degrees. It is spitting snow this morning,
but have only received a couple of inches, roads are slushy.
The converted SUV to a snowcat is only a few of this contractor's toys.
He has 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, campers, 5-wheel camper,
and college age boy's. I'm glad he doesn't live next to me.
