A bit of a throwback image to last May. These birds are simply gorgeous with their all-white plumage. They are pretty skittish so I don’t normally get decent captures of them.

On this day, a dozen of them were hanging out on a pond in Adams County, Colorado and decided to be kind to me and let their picture be taken. I was able to lay down and get some nice, eye-level captures.

During the summer these birds are pretty common in Colorado but during the winter they prefer the warmer environs of Mexico. I don’t blame them. 😉
