Excellent. Those guys are really tough to get in flight.
Thank you Ken, I needed good light to get these flights shots.
Still a work in progress to keep them in the viewfinder.
The Killdeer in my area are busy mating/nesting. I was
able to get a few quick burst of this noisy quick flyer.

Thank you Joe. I was thinking Grebe or Loon. I looked in a bird book and Grebe
wasn't it, but the next listing was Loon's. There I found that the Common Loon
wintered within the front range of CO. Then I came back to UHH and did a search
for 'Common Loon' and got about 20 hits. There were some really great shots of
these Loon's, that confirmed 'Common Loon'.

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.
