Lovely mini dawn chorus soundscape from the train station early morning ☺️ Thrushes & Robin in full song. #MyWildLife #HantsBirds

Sometimes life on a mountain means life in the clouds.
From the sound of it, the critters are enjoying the cooldown as much as I am.
(Have I mentioned we don’t have A/C? Yay for monsoon season!)

A mated pair of ospreys tend their fledglings, who should leave the nest any day now.
Ospreys are HUGE raptors, 2 feet in length w/ a 6 ft wingspan.
Zoom in on the talons on this pescatarian— they can spot prey in the water from 130 ft up!

Take a quick #hike & with me & the fam in Great Sand Dunes National Park in #Colorado— the highest sand dunes in N. America.
We are climbing on the sand from the bed of an enormous prehistoric lake that dried up 440,000 years ago.
A butt burner for sure!

We spotted this massive moose a few miles from home. Big boi! 🫎
Fun fact: Moose are not native to CO. Transient moose had been spotted before the ‘70s, but then CPW introduced them & they’re now thriving w/ an estimated population of 3000.

Last did this in 2021 & today we went further & higher in less time & a w/lower average bpm. Makes me so happy!
