With any luck we should be seeing these along the Colorado Front Range in the next couple of weeks or so. These little guys are probably by second favorite seasonal bird here – but not far behind my first. They are supremely entertaining to watch, especially the young ones when they emerge.

This wide-eyed lady was keeping watch over her brood last June, soon after they made their first public appearance.
