On Saturday, my wife Stephanie and I flew into Denver for a 10 day vacation in Colorado. We will be spending 7 days in Vail and then 3 days in Estes Park. Our flight arrived at 8:15am, and we headed straight to Chatfield State Park. It is a beautiful park that has a huge reservoir. We immediately noticed a large number of grebes on the lake. While most were Western, I was able to find one Clark's, a lifer for me!
Due to the time of day, there were not very many birds around. Our highlight other than the Clark's Grebe was a large number of American White Pelicans.

Our next stop was Red Rocks Park on the west side of Denver. This park has some of the most amazing scenery that I have ever seen. Since it was the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday, there were people everywhere and no birds to be found. But the fantastic views more than made up for the lack of birds!
