This video shows a female (left) and male mallard duck in a pool in Van Bibber Creek. The female seems to be flirting with the male. Two days before this, I saw two male mallards facing off with each other at this same location. The winner is with the female. This location is where this ephemeral stream leaves the Colorado Rocky Mountains to flow down to the Great Plains. I estimate the flow at 2.0 cubic feet per second (cfs). It rained most of the day.
Have a good one. 👍🏽😊🏔️🌲🏔️


Adventure on! 🏔️🌲🏔️

Have a basic understanding of the physical laws that govern the world along with a solid understanding of the dynamics of life. Everything is in flux. The world is full of uncertainty. ~TJ Burr
Examples:
- Knowing that air pressure decreases with elevation.
- The force of swiftly flowing water can knock you over at knee deep.
- Friction between your feet and a rock determines if you will stay upright or slip.
- Sound travels at about 1,000 ft per second. If you count the seconds between seeing a flash of lightning and hearing the thunder, you can estimate how far away it is.
Happy trails and adventures! 🏔️🌲🏔️

While hiking in the Colorado foothills, I encountered this beautiful snake, a yellow bellied racer. Please share your knowledge about this snake.
