Osprey Athletics, Turtles in the Sun, Mule Deer and More!
Spring has certainly been showing off lately. It is raining today and I thought I’d share some photos while I wait for the rain to slow down a bit. The Osprey pairs have been “tusling” mid-air and I caught one of the birds upside down in the air. Very cool to watch – the photo isn’t great but it does show their aerobatic abilities. Imagine being able to fly like that! The turtles continue enjoying the sun, the mule deer frequent the mountain trails, the Black-headed Grosbeaks sing their gorgeous song and the Mourning Cloaks continue to feast on flower nectar.
Enjoy the photos!

I just love those turtles! 🙂
They have found a great spot for sunning!
They always do!
thanks for the photo of the Mourning Cloak.. I’ve seen where I live but did not know what they were.
They are beautiful butterflies.
