Not Chickens

Looks like it is going to snow here in Colorado this weekend.   It’s been a nice few days with highs in the 50’s.  It makes me think of spring but we are still at least 5 months away from things starting to grow again.

We are planning a trip to Rincon soon which will be awes0me. We are looking forward to seeing the place after almost 9 months away! Not sure what to expect, but the gloomy weather here can drag on a person so it will be good to see some sunshine and green plants!

The geese are migrating this time of year and apparently found some food in our yard which was kind of interesting.


Not Chickens

We (Greeley) are on a flight path for migrations each year and we get thousands of these guys as visitors on their way from Canada.  They stop at all the lakes in town and since our house is in between 2 ponds they occasionally stop by to say hi.  They don’t usually come into the yards to eat though…lol.

Bird Life in Greeley

We went out to lunch with Shana on Saturday and saw some geese, pelicans and herons in a lake near our house. It was pretty neat. Britton and I saw a bald eagle the other day as we were going to work too.  There’s quite a lot of bird life in Greeley if you look around -in addition to our chickens! :-).

Is this a crane or a heron?

As we were admiring the birds, we saw two Mother Goose type geese (I know, not very technical). I was going to take their picture, but since they were coming up to the car, I decided to take a video instead.
