This week's Sunday Stills challenge is Birdstalking. On a trip to Tingley Beach (a local man-made fishing lake) and the Rio Grande Bosque (woods) I was able to stalk, or be stalked by, these birds:
These Geese are playing follow the leader.
I forget what this is called but I love it's feet.
Even ducks have itches to scratch.
Anyone know what these birds are? This area is near the zoo so they could be exotic.
Here's a very poor close up of them.
I was lucky to see a great horned owl up in a tree. She watched me as I walked all around the bottom of her tree.

The owl is very cool and I love the itchy duck as you can see color you wouldn't normally see on him.
Nice pictures. I have no idea what kind of birds they are.

Great pictures. The black birds might be cormorants (sp)?
Nice close ups! Those are cormorants, I googled them to be sure.
Lots of interesting birds there. Very cool.
Cormorants! Thank you everybody.

Yep cormorants fer sure, they are usually a costal bird but I've seen them in Colorado, they have a whole nesting rookery at the Denver Zoo and are free to travel. Great shots..:-)
