Found this little guy up on the Colorado National Monument. First time getting to photograph this cuties. I am wondering if that is a pine nut in his beak.

It looks as If I may have caught it with a mouthful!
Photo taken Dec 29, 2019. This tree never ceases to inspire me as it is a lone tree, sculpted by the wind, in the most hostile, bitter cold, arid place one can imagine. I relate to Thoreau here..."I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines."
-Henry David Thoreau

It is special to discover different birds in our zone, and this is the first winter I've seen this bird. There is a pair here. While we do have the habitat they like (pinyon/juniper woods), their range maps indicate they are scarce here and prefer the milder Arizona/Utah/New Mexico/southern Colorado locations. They are tricky to photograph as they hop and flit around quickly and also have superb camouflage cover in grey-toned tree branches.

"The Juniper Titmouse is a plain gray bird with a prominent black eye and a feisty tuft of feathers on its head. What it lacks in color, it makes up for with attitude, and its scratchy chatter can be heard all year in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of the interior West. They are very similar to the Oak Titmouse and were previously considered the same species, the Plain Titmouse, but they live in different habitats."
Juniper berries are best known for flavouring gin and for getting birds drunk in early winter. Do you sense a theme here?

From yesterday's photo adventure in our back yard! Just the tip of a Juniper Sprig, with a lone Berry. The drop refractions really show the abundance of berries in our trees. The Deer love them too!
Back home now after a wonderful break up in Scotland. This is Barton Grange Marina near home and the sky looked quite interesting just before sunset, so I nipped here to catch the reflections in the waters of the Marina.
This is a very popular spot with the Canal Boats moored up alongside the Garden Centre and the "Flower Bowl" Entertainment Centre with is large domed grass roof. There is a Cinema, Restaurant, Crazy Golf, Curling Rink and other fun things to do here.
The female juniper described in the prior photo in my gallery is in the foreground, and the male juniper in that photo is behind her.
One thing to know is that junipers are generally very scrappy, character trees, growing out of rocks and loamy soil. They live on arid cliffs and in extreme cold and windy conditions. These 2 junipers are the exception, in that they both receive abundant water and are very well developed. Deeper in my gallery is a b&w photo of a juniper entitled "First Light" and that is more typical of a juniper in the arid, high altitude western mountains.

Juniper Titmouse on the Juniper trees at the City of Rocks, Idaho

This very plain songbird resides only in semi-arid, juniper dominated woodlands in the American Inter-Mountain West.
"Sunfire Junipers", Capture at 1/400 sec @F/8.0 ISO 400 ; 38mm on a Sigma 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Lens; The sun was at 12.30 position and shining right into this grove of trees beside a road, That had been just cleared 30ft or so back from the edge of the roadway revealing these junipers. They were lit up in such a way they looked like to be on Fire. It was just beautiful makes a photographer's heart ache to own a Medium format camera with a sharp lens to capture the scenes beauty.

The trailhead is at the big juniper and the cairn. The cairns mark the trail. See the next post for a trail marked by cairns
Both junipers and piñon pines have been succumbing on the Colorado Plateau in a prolonged drought that has reduced Lake Powell of a mere 21% of its full capacity. I was photographing piñon and juniper ghosts when I found this one. It was special, so I put some extra work into it.

This tree appears to be dead but there is still a little bit of green. Photo taken near Snowflake, AZ
This project has been nothing but love since the beginning. My wonderfully talented friend, Seri was able to take my sketches & vision and turn it into my little pixel reality. So grateful for her skills and her never-ending creativity. Thank you <3
