Not much bird activity this morning despite the wonderful conditions. Not too many clouds or too much wind. Every bird I got a look at was either perched way up in the trees or flitting about deep in the budding foliage. So today’s images are all long shots. The featured image is of a group of Double Crested Cormorants who have elected, this season, to keep tabs on the Arkansas River from a perch near the Anticline Fishing Pond. I also spotted a pair of Kestrels keeping an eye on the surroundings. I also got another view of one of the two (I’m told) Great Horned Owlets who was practicing his glare.
