Can anyone identify this bird? I was out walking this morning along the Poudre River trail and came across a few black, long beaked, long legged, birds wading in some water. They were about the size of a duck and seemed to be feeding on insects in the water. It sure was fun to watch them elegantly strut around and simultaneously stretch out their neck to poke at a bit of food.

Lunar Eclipse
Did you happen to catch the total eclipse of the moon this morning? It was best seen in the western United States. It was visible in the western sky. This picture was taken when it was about 20 minutes away from totality. A few minutes later is disappeared behind the horizon and it was gone. The sun started coming up in the east, but it was still a really beautiful sight.
Totality — when the moon is completely consumed by Earth’s shadow — began at 6:06 a.m. Pacific time Saturday, and ended at 6:57 a.m. Even on the Pacific coast, dawn started to brighten the sky before the eclipse was over.
If you missed Saturday’s eclipse, there will be a partial one next June 4. There will not be a total lunar eclipse again until April 15, 2014.
Bald Eagle along the Poudre River Trail
Today and yesterday, along the Poudre River Trail, I spotted at least three bald eagles. They seem to hang out in one particular area near the bridge. It’s really neat to see them take off and fly, showing off their large wingspan.
