Another very clear day for me and my shadow to enjoy a walk by the Arkansas River. My avian friends continued playing hard to get. I still managed to come away with some captures. There were a couple of Great Horned Owls perched in the fire damaged area by the Osprey Picnic Area one of whom (I believe a female) is today’s featured image. Both of them are pictured below. I also got the best shot yet of what I believe to be a Solitary Sandpiper but what could also be a variety of a Yellowlegs. I wish they wore labels.
