Ideal conditions prevailed today at Lake Pueblo State Park. Wind was not an issue while the light was fantastic. Not many birds chose to pose in the good light for me, though. There were fewer fishermen in the river but far more people out walking their dogs and riding their bikes – two guys were even out there on horseback. I took a shot of a large group of Ducks in the Arkansas river – mostly Goldeneye and I think possibly some Bufflehead which is today’s featured image. I did accomplish one of the goals I set at the start of the walk and got a shot of a Pied-billed Grebe – posted below. My other two goals (getting an Eagle and a Bluebird) went unfulfilled.
