November 10, 2022 – Repost

While I’m spending time with family here is a reposting of a previous walk. Enjoy Environment:Start Time: 3:35 PM Temperature: 53 degrees Sky: Sun with malicious breeze. Today’s tour of Lake Pueblo State Park was a mixed bag of great light, sparse bird presence and biting breezes. Mule Deer did their best to make up for the issues – they were everywhere.

On the smaller end of the bird spectrum a bunch of American Bushtits did appear and this one paused long enough for me to make a capture.
