Cedar Waxwing at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

We got going earlier than yesterday but still a little delayed because of the haze blocking the rising sun. The haze is much better today – parts of the sky are actually blue, the few clouds that were present were discernable and the Wet Mountains were clearly visible from Highway 96 as we drove out to Lake Pueblo State Park. To sum it up – it was a good day to walk. The birds seemed to be more active today as well and I sighted a lot more birds than I was able to capture on my memory card. Today’s highlight was coming upon about half a dozen Cedar Waxwings bouncing through the smaller trees along the trail. I managed to get some good shots. For the featured image today I have an early morning shot of the Arkansas River winding its way through the park.
