Sometimes on late summer bird walks you have to be open to finding all kinds of natural history. Luckily, the later part of the summer is a great time for dragonflies, butterflies, and flowers. Thanks to my excellent band of photographers today for capturing all kinds of natural history (including birds) for us to enjoy. Don't miss the slide show below.

Black-Crowned Night-Heron
Black-Crowned Night-Heron
We went looking for a family of black-crowned night-herons which had been reported at Golden Ponds. The adults may have already abandoned their young because we did not find them. Luckily, the two juveniles were still there hunting frogs. I don't often see these birds in Colorado so it is always nostalgic for me to watch them like I used to so much in Minnesota.
