By now most of these massive birds have headed south for the winter but clearly not all of them. A few stragglers are still hanging around the plains of Colorado including this one. Perhaps they didn’t get the memo? I didn’t see it until the very last minute and only managed to squeeze off a couple of pics of it yesterday.
