My Wildlife Sightings in Colorado

Fighting Does

I was out taking some pictures of several does in the snow when it got a little heated.
I guess they did not like each other and decided to see who was stronger.

Not my best pictures, the camera was not set up for action shots.

Minnesota White Tail Deer

I spend the Holidays in Minnesota and was pleased to see a couple deer. These deer photos were take at Gooseberry Falls. We spend a few hours hiking with the kids. It was nice to be able to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

A Snowy January Day...

We had a nice snowy day. We got around 8" on new snow. The deer were out
and spent time lying around and looking for food.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This will be my last post for 2008. I am heading of to Minnesota to spend the holidays with family.
I want to wish all my readers a Happy and Safe Holiday Season.

Picture is of 2 bucks fighting. They fought for about a half hour. If was fun to watch.
The funny thing is the does were long gone by the time the fight was over.
We have had about 20 deer hanging around over the last several days. Several bucks
have been tagging along and fighting over the does. It has been a nice way to end the year.

The Winner

Merry Christmas.....

Moon over the Continental Divide

This picture is the moon rising over the Continental Divide.
I am in Silverthorne, Colorado looking east. Interstate 70
runs under the Continental Divide though the Eisenhower tunnel
and is the highest vehicular tunnel in the world, located at an elevation 11,158 feet.

Eagles in 11 Mile Canyon 2

I recently found out that Bald Eagles migrate to Colorado for the winter and there are 13 or so that hang out in 11 Mile Canyon. This is the other eagle I was able to capture. See Wednesdays post for more info.

Eagles in 11 Mile Canyon

I recently found out that Bald Eagles migrate to Colorado for the winter and there are 13 or so that hang out in 11 Mile Canyon. So I set out to see if I could find them. Less than a mile up the dirt road I spot one soaring overhead and watched as he landed in a tree top. I was really excited now and once he flew off I continued up the road to find more.It is a wonderful drive that runs next to the South Platte River. There were many great sites to photograph but I kept my eyes skyward to look for more eagles. I ended up see 4 bald eagles but was only able to get photos of 2. Below is the last one I saw and was the best photo location. I can not wait until my next trip to the canyon. Next time I plan on taking so pictures of the river, rocks and ice.

Eleven mile Canyon is located in Lake George, Colorado and is a renowned recreational area. It is a favorite site for fishing, kayaking, hiking, and bouldering (or rock climbing). The upper portion of the canyon is an ideal trout fishery open to fly fishing or lures only and is a catch and release area.
