Photo by Kort Duce A turkey vulture yawns while perched on a dead snag near St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, a turkey vulture fills the frame, facing the camera with its head turned to its left, revealing its right profile. Its beak is wide open, with its tongue extending outward, almost as if it were singing a song. The behavior may be a yawn or stretch, or perhaps a visual display of uneasiness or dominance. The vulture balances atop a dead branch that enters the frame from the lower right, travels across the image, and gradually tapers off. The background is a brilliant blue sky, characteristic of Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine each year, providing a clean, striking backdrop that emphasizes the vulture’s dark plumage and distinctive bare head. A beautiful and unexpected moment of a turkey vulture in the riparian habitat so vital to its survival.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron moves into position to fish at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, the viewer looks out across a pond. In the lower-right quadrant, a heron is silhouetted on a branch jutting out of the water from a submerged fallen tree. Facing the camera with its head turned to its left, the heron appears poised to fish, with one foot or its talons just touching the water. Across the far background, a silhouetted skyline of rectangular and angular grain elevators rises above the horizon, remnants of the area’s agrarian history. The pond itself was once a rock quarry used to mine river rock for cement aggregate. Today, the former quarry has been transformed into a wetland and designated nature area. The grain elevators are abstractly reflected in the pond’s rippled water, adding depth, perspective, and visual interest to the scene while connecting the area’s industrial and agricultural past with its present-day role as wildlife habitat. A beautiful black-and-white scenic photograph of a great blue heron utilizing a wetland habitat so vital to its existence.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron is silhouetted as it perches at sunrise on a small submerged tree in a pond at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the viewer looks down and across a pond as the early morning sun reflects off the rippled water, creating a broad swath of shimmering glare. In the lower left quadrant, a great blue heron stands on a small submerged tree, its many bare branches extending across the bottom of the frame. The heron faces the camera with its head and neck turned to its left, revealing the right side of its face. Its neck forms a graceful "S" curve, and its head is slightly bowed with its beak pointing downward. The water throughout the image is textured with ripples created by a gentle breeze. The opposing shoreline occupies the top of the frame and remains in deep shadow, creating a striking contrast with the brilliant sunlight. Just below the top of the image, the sun's reflection breaks through the darkness and stretches downward across the pond, bathing the scene in warm golden and amber tones that evoke the tranquility of sunrise. This beautiful portrait captures a poised and majestic great blue heron in its natural wetland habitat, an ecosystem that is vital to its survival.
