I’m beginning to think that I should bring my own birds when I go out to Lake Pueblo State Park. The park was more peopled today but I swear there were far fewer birds and/or critters. On my way into the park I saw a Parks Dept truck sitting right in the middle of the prairie dog town that I’ve been enjoying all year. There was a kind of ominous looking trailer attached to the truck that had a tank for liquid on it. I’m wondering if they are going to eradicate these little rodents. Hope not. I did spot three Mule Deer Doe (today’s featured image) hanging out in the weeds a little way off the trail. For some reason they found me fascinating. The next most numerous animal I saw was Gulls. Posted below is a photo of one group of them swirling above the trees in the Osprey Picnic Area. This picture really does not demonstrate the number of birds that were there.
