Had a great visit to Arizona again this winter. I was hoping to catch a Gila woodpecker on a cactus and this one, at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, obliged.

I will be supporting Phil Weiser to be Colorado's next governor. Great to hear him speak in Colorado Springs today! Colorado Democrat Caucuses are March 3-7.

Ran into my favorite winter visitor again today. Sad that this dark morph Ferruginous Hawk will be returning to its breeding grounds soon. Hope it returns for a 4th winter next year. Southern Colorado 2.14.26
