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.

Note the Bronze Jumping Spider in the background. An instant after I took this photo. I took another photo and the skipper was gone, but the Jumping Spider had landed in the leaf where the skipper was. I believe the skipper flew because it saw the spider jumping towards it. The Bronze Jumping Spider is in this observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/237100781

Walking on the tundra today I heard a whistling noise and stopped, thinking it was perhaps a young Yellow-bellied Marmot. I scanned the rock outcrops 30 yards away and then looked again at some closer rock piles, but could not find anything despite continuing the hear the calls. I thought; “those sound very close” and looked down and saw that I was standing 4 feet away from this mama White-tailed Ptarmigan. She ignored me and watched her chicks as they ran around, frequently coming back to Mom to snuggle under her.

Male. This male and a female were chasing each other up the river and across the lake. The male landed on this tree overhanging the lake and made quiet rattles and was soon joined by the female, who responded with quiet rattles of her own.

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!

Male. Thanks to @jimjohnson for your ID on this Emerald two days ago. Thanks to @rahopko for coming to confirm this and finding more including mating pairs. Thanks for Bill Prather for coming and netting the male in the first two photos and IDing more flying around. Bill told me that this is the first documented Plains Emerald in Colorado in over a hundred and twenty years. The third photo is of a mating pair
