Environment:Start Time: 8:00 AM Temperature: 34 degrees Sky: Sunshine with slight breeze. It was chilly and lonely out on the trail this morning. Very little was going on and non of the “sexy” birds were anywhere to be seen. So it’s snoozing Pied-billed Grebes for the featured image and a not too in focus shot of a Magpie doing a flyby for a closer. By my calculations the Osprey are around two weeks away. I hope they come early.

In anticipation of their return I’m posting my Osprey Gallery here as a teaser. Enjoy. If you can’t see the Gallery click Here

Environment:Start Time: 9:10 AM Temperature: 48 degrees Sky: Sunshine with little breeze. Eagle! Eagle! I could not resist heading out for a morning walk when I saw that the air temperature was well into the forties and the sky was mostly clear. When I got out on the trail I was surprised at the low number of fishermen out on the Arkansas River. With today being “Super Bowl Sunday” I figured all the fishermen in town would be out trying to catch their limit before the big game kick-off.
