Mallard Ducks at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

Another beautiful afternoon walk goes into the books today. The problem with the afternoons is that bird activity is low. I’m guessing that everyone has a full belly by the end of the day and so is hunkered down digesting on a nice safe perch. Everyone except the Great Horned Owls – who are just waking up and deciding what would hit the spot tonight. Today’s featured image is one such owl – patiently watching the Sun set behind the Arkansas River. Pictured here are a Mallard Duck couple checking out the river bottom.
