Birds & Waterfowl

Birds and waterfowl are plentiful in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.  A recent survey performed over Christmas holidays confirmed a record number of total birds as well as record numbers of several individual species. 

I recently purchased a new long lens.  The larger wildlife in the park were not cooperating, so prompted by reading of our record number of birds, I decided to test my new lens on some of the many birds in the area.  Below are some of my recent shots.  The spring should bring literally hundreds of new species.
