Photographing the American Dipper
The target for our vlog video this afternoon was Gateway Natural Area. We had wanted to return for a couple of reasons. The first and biggest was to see if the Pygmy Owls had returned to nest in the picnic area. The second was to photograph Kingfishers, of which we had seen plenty in past visits. These goals were not to be met. Well, mostly not met. A park ranger would distract us by dangling the offer to see an American Dipper’s nest. The offer was way too tempting.
Chasing the Light
We started our Moose Mission when we received reports of multiple gatherings of moose in Rocky Mountain National Park. The two sites that we were most interested in were Sheep Lakes and Sprague Lake. So, come Saturday morning we hauled our cameras and equipment to Sheep Lake to see what we could see. No moose. After a couple of hours of waiting for some sort of activity, we headed over to Sprague Lake.
In Search of Newborn Animals
It was a beautiful spring day. We decided to go out and scout some local locations for future YouTube videos. To make it more interesting we made it a goal to find newborn critters to photograph. We did find a few but we were for the most part a little early.
