Environment:Start Time: 8:00 AM Temperature: 60 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine and little breeze again. Check out last year’s walk on this day! Did I say not much was happening at Lake Pueblo State Park yesterday? I guess I misspoke. Compared to today, yesterday was an absolute festival. I know the sightings box (below) shows a number of birds out but technically most of those sightings should be referred to as nano-sightings since I only saw the birds in passing.

Environment:Start Time: 8:25 AM Temperature: 60 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine and little breeze. Check out last year’s walk on this day! Not much going on this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. I mean when the featured image is an insect (Widow Skimmer) and the other two images are a duck (Blue-winged Teal) and a tree you know things are slow. The really sad note is that I did not see a single Osprey. Looks like the season is over for sure. I did see two Great Blue Herons but they were either too far away or duplicating poses…

Environment:Start Time: 7:40 AM Temperature: 47 degrees Sky: Sunshine, few clouds, no breeze. Autumn’s crisp air very much present this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. I don’t know if that was keeping all the birds snuggled in their beds but they were generally missing in action on the trail and in the air. So today’s featured image goes to a perched Osprey – the bird I got closest to today. Below is a rather disappointing image of two Blue Jays whom I caught scampering through the trees right at the end of my walk. I’m hoping that the migrating…
