A juvenile Canada goose swims near a fishing pier reflected in the water at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, the neck and head of a juvenile Canada goose enter the frame at center right and are reflected in the water below. Circular ripples spread beneath its bill as it skims and feeds at the surface.

The background is particularly striking, appearing almost abstract-reminiscent of 1970s tie-dye patterns rendered in shades of brown, black, blue, and cream. These colors are reflections of the brown-painted fishing pier, its blue accents, the creamy concrete surface, and the blue sky overhead.

This image captures a beautiful moment of a juvenile Canada goose in a quasi-natural setting where the reflections of human-made structures blend with nature to create an unexpectedly artistic scene.

Two young barn swallows interact with each other at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

In this horizontal color photograph, two young barn swallows perch on a dead branch that enters the frame from the lower right and curves upward toward the left center. One swallow perches atop the curved end of the branch, while the other sits below it near the center of the frame. The swallow on the right repeatedly pecks at and harasses the one on the left. Eventually, the left swallow opens its beak in retaliation, confronting its tormentor at close range.

Without this explanation, viewers might interpret the interaction in different ways. What is going on between these two young birds? Is it a squabble, a display of dominance, or perhaps even a budding romance? The photograph captures a moment that leaves room for interpretation.
