Birds... angry birds...

Okay, okay... not all of them were angry, but some were! But, let's start from the beginning... In the beginning it was a sunny, but hazy morning and the sky wasn't blue at all... But the bird's silhouettes looked very beautiful against slightly pink-ish background ;)

 

And I won't stay in one place today, but I will jump back and forth between City Park a day before and Cherry Creek Park a day later... Hazy and smoky sky was replaced with nice and blue sky and even more than a week after the flooding the water in Cherry Creek Reservoir was still a good 5 feet above normal (improvement over 10 feet a week ago, huh?)... But we enjoyed a nice reflection in the water that covered a good half of the parking lot ;)

This snow egret didn't like me at all and allowed only one picture to be taken. But I have no complaints...

 

The bald eagle flew over my head so silently that I almost missed this magnificent bird...

And now we are getting closer to some angry birds, although this one didn't show any temper.

A couple of pelicans moved slowly in the middle of the lake. They looked just gorgeous!

The red-winged blackbird walked cautiously over the wet grass, looking for something to bite.

Calling for a mate (this is not an angry bird... yet...)...

Soaring during a morning hunt...

And now the angry blackbird ;) It was really angry about something...

Have no idea what upset this blackbird so badly, but it loudly announced it to the whole world ;)

Same pelicans but now joined a large flock of other birds...
