Enjoying the gifts of the day with two dogs

This morning, we went in search of moose. We went to Brainard Lake near the Indian Peaks Wilderness. We did not see any moose, so we hiked to Long Lake. We didn’t see any moose, but the views were incredible. Of course, Regis and I both had long lenses on our cameras and I forgot my cell phone, so we have no pictures of the amazing views.
After our short hike in this air which is significantly lacking in oxygen, I left Dart and Regis at the motor home and went to the Bird Sanctuary near the Estes Park Lake. My first encounter was with two snakes fornicating.
If anyone can identify the birds that I can’t, please let me know and I will update this post. It’s amazing that neither Regis or I can identify some of them with two different bird guides!

Estes Park is much more crowded than when we were there. It’s a happening place. There are lots of elk. They were roaming through the campground this morning and we stayed in a campground close to town.
