Environment:Start Time: 9:35 AM Temperature: 32 degrees Sky: Occasional sunshine. Very chilly to start the day at Lake Pueblo State Park. I waited at home as long as I could hoping for some warmth but had to come on out before the Sun got too high in the sky. Not that that mattered much. Activity remains low. I did get a (very) long shot of the Cooper’s Hawk pictured here. I didn’t realize until I cropped the image that it isn’t even looking toward me. A Great Horned Owl made the featured slot up top. This owl and I should…

Environment:Start Time: 9:00 AM Temperature: 34 degrees Sky: Bright sunshine. Another chilly morning in Rock Canyon. Featured today is a male Belted Kingfisher who was working hard at finding a meal on the Arkansas River and I caught him with the goods in his beak. Then I saw, on a distant branch, what I thought was another juvenile American Bald Eagle but on closer inspection it turned out to be a Red-tailed Hawk. Still a welcome sight. With Winter just a few days away I’m hoping we get a lot more ducks stopping by for the season. Still haven’t seen…
