Just a ‘pretty shot’ as I would call it. While waiting for some more action-oriented pictures to take, I was keeping a keen eye on the horizon to the west for the right opportunity. I was seeing a variety of birds fly south to north but none quite high enough to get the scene I wanted. This modern-day pterodactyl was kind enough to fix that problem. It looked absolutely gorgeous in the morning light with the indomitable Rockies serving as a backdrop.
