Probably not a view you want if you are a fish or prairie dog. 😉 For me though, I didn’t mind one bit.

Taken yesterday, the early afternoon light was pretty harsh but I think this capture is kind of a fun one. This pair was hanging out along the South Platte River, enjoying a mild winter’s day in Colorado. They finally decided it was time to fly with the female taking the lead and the male launching right behind her.

It is mating season for these majestic creatures and, with any luck, this spring will bring little ones into their lives.
