A little bird -- I think it's a Plumbeous Vireo -- feeds its chick at Highline Lake in western CO. The two parents were identical in appearance and both were coming and going, so I don't know whether this is Mom or Dad here. It was so amazing to watch -- the nest was only about six feet up in a little tree, and the birds didn't seem concerned about me standing there six feet away.
