Double Crested Cormorant at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

The run of great days continued this morning. Sadly, the run of not so many birds also continued. I managed to make do nevertheless. Today’s featured image is of a Bee (variety unknown) checking out one of the remaining Wild Sunflower blossoms. I also caught one of the sets of twin Mule Deer fawns rustling around in the weeds though I couldn’t get a shot of both of them together. Pictured below is the slower of the two. Both the Cormorants and the Osprey were busy perching in the sunshine I got a good shot of a Cormorant who was sitting in near perfect light. At the bottom of the post is a Monarch Butterfly also taking advantage of the morning sunshine.
