Living Life with Altitude

We are two soon-to-be newlyweds who live in Estes Park, Colorado - Paradise at 7,500 feet! We have recently bought a house and we are getting married in October. We hope to start a family soon. I am a culinary student and Cameron manages a Starbucks. We love our life and hope that you enjoy sharing in our adventures!

Birdwatching

The weather in Estes today is a bit bleak. Very foggy and rainy, but I won't complain because we really need the moisture. Unfortunate timing for the Jazz Fest this weekend, though, but I'm sure folks will still make the best of it.

In the meantime, however, the last few days have been great for bird watching! We've had lots of visitors at the feeders and in the yard this week. We have a hummingbird or two coming up to the feeders, but of course every time they are near, my camera is nowhere to be found! Alas. Here's a few of the other visitors I did manage to capture.

Juvenile western meadowlarks

White-breasted nuthatch
