American Kestrel at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

Five days in a row of terrific walking conditions can kind of spoil you. I think things are about to change, though. Activity was pretty low. The Red-tailed Hawk was just hanging around the nest and the Osprey were very scarce. Pictured is an American Kestrel giving me the evil eye. Below is one of the four goslings who are being raised near the fishing pond. Today’s featured image is a scenic shot featuring a lot of Weeds and the back ends of a couple of Mule Deer.
