Around and near town walks and hikes - Wildlife and Scenery

I've taken to longer neighborhood and local walks like into old Littleton from home, BMS-Bow Mar extended walk, South Platte trail, South Valley Park, etc (6-10 miles typically).  I finally started brinigng my camera along and here are some photos, mostly birdlife, that I've seen along the way.  It's  not just canada geese and mallard ducks out there.
