The bird seemed to be resting. It stayed in this position for several minutes. Green colored on its back.
This ferret popped out of a hole that the prairie dog seemed to be trying to cover up. The two animals seemed to be aware of each other, but they did not interact. Eventually the prairie dog wandered off.
Glancing at my bird feeder this morning revealed this Darner perched on the wire that supports the hummingbird feeder. I set up a ladder and climbed to its level for these photos before it flew.
Woo hoo, two lifer weasels for my birthday!

Marbled Polecat, Mongolia
Seen in the Buffer Zone outside Hustai Park
Not sure what is going on but this is the fourth birder that I know of who has had a phoebe perch on their binoculars or on their person at Commons Ford.
With an Eastern Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta ssp. picta) riding around on its back! Observation here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/39611588.
These cuties were growing like weeds all over the unused campsites in the closed-off portion of the campground. I guess they like disturbed areas with no to little competition from other plants.
Chipmunk feeding at St Elmo !
Catching up with old photos :-)
No, they only have two sets of wings, not three.

A Herring Gull perched on a sign (later on the ground) at Great Kills Park, Gateway National Recreation Area
The temperature was in the low 50F, with gusty winds to 20 mph, with filtered sunlight through a high overcast. This observation was made 4 hours and 46 minutes after sunrise into the first full day of Spring. A great way to start the Butterfly season!
There is a war going on in Wheatridge Greenbelt between a single beaver and the entire corps of rangers. The beaver has been felling large willows and if it doesn’t complete the task overnight, the rangers rush in and surround the willow with a wire fence. The rangers are also busy putting fences around undamaged trees that the beaver has yet to gnaw.
This dragonfly was seen perched on a reed in a small pond formed by Wonderland Creek in northeast Boulder. Rare in Colorado.

This dragonfly was hovering over the intersection of a sandy run that had formed along a forest trail and a seep that crossed the trail as it went downslope towards a small river.
FINALLY got a good picture of one of the two flickers that's been in my yard.
