Today’s outing at Lake Pueblo State Park was pretty low key. I did manage to finally capture an Osprey in the act of catching its breakfast though most of my images were on the soft side. Posted at the bottom is the best shot with some Arkansas River action. I also managed to grab a shot of three marauding American Bushtits who were busy sacking the park. Most of my other photographic efforts were spent with the Cooper’s Hawk siblings. I think they might be getting used to my presence because one of them was searching around on the ground and let me get pretty close – today’s featured image. Also pictured here is another perching shot – possibly the same bird – they move around quite a bit.
