Seventeen-Years Ago Today. World Life List #118. Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado.

Gadwall (Mareca strepera) observed leaving a pond along the Auto Loop in the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado. Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge was a 2+ hour drive from Boulder, Colorado. I would visit the refuge several times on weekends while I was working part time in Boulder. The Auto Loop provides many opportunities for viewing wildlife in central Colorado. Additional images of Gadwall are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.

About the author

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time observing and photographing the plants and animals while expanding a wildflower garden/meadow in the backyard. When the sky is clear, I have telescopes viewing the night sky.
