Double Crested Cormorant. I first saw one of these in Boston, but managed to get a shot of a couple here in Denver. Apparently they were migrating through so I got a little lucky. I almost got a shot of one that had just caught a fish and was preparing to eat it, but unfortunately my camera wasn't in focus and I missed the moment. Regardless, here are two great shots. Its sunning itself in the second shot! looks pretty cool to me! Posted by Picasa

Is the bird emerging in the first pic? Is does it just float really low in the water? Great shots by the way.

It really does float that low in the water. Sometimes you'll see one with the "shoulder" slightly protruding a bit more than here, but usually all you see is the head and neck while they are in the water.

Short-horned Lizard.  The kids saw and caught this horned toad.  It was so small! Red-naped Sapsucker.  First time I had seen this bird.  It's a male.  On the female the red doesn't cover the entire neck. House Wren.  Have seen lots of there, but this is probably my best pic.

Animals Crevice Spiny Lizard . The very distinctive neck band and tail bands made this one easy to identify. It was a fairly large lizard too. This was the only animal we saw that I got a photo of, but I did also see a Mountain Chickadee and White-Throated Swift (both birds).
