Even in Spring, it's sometimes necessary to fluff that winter coat back up for use. This little Pine Siskin knows Springtime in the Rockies could bring any surprise so he pulled out the extra down.

Deer also bucked the heavy spring storm to forage in yards and pose for the photographer's camera.

The snowstorm that left as much as two feet in the Bailey area last week helped relieve the extremely depleted moisture levels suffered in Platte Canyon through mid-April.

Within days, sudden high temperatures started melting all signs of the spring storm, leaving puddles and patches where white blankets had piled up the day before.
