A Day at the Lake

Three storks perched in the middle of the lake. Visiting Storks

I always enjoy going places where I can see different birds from those that visit my yard. Recently I visited a lake in Salida, Colorado, where ducks and geese frequent. I spent a pleasant afternoon walking around the lake and I was fortunate to be there at a time when the storks stopped by for a visit. You can see them perched in the photo above. They are quite large, and interesting looking, but oh, so graceful in flight. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture their departure as they lit out for their next stop. But I did get some shots of the cute duckies and geese below.

A mallard duck at the edge of the water. Going in? Two ducks on the lake facing one another. Fancy meeting you here. Two ducks swimming away. Comeon. Let’s blow this pop stand. Two geese with their bottoms up under a bridge. Bottoms Up – Must be mealtime

I found a better picture of the majestic stork. Different trip, different lake. This one was spotted on Lake DeWeese, just outside Westcliffe, Colorado.
