Environment:
Start Time: 6:00 AM Temperature: 70 degrees Sky: Sunshine, clouds with light wind.
I am going to blame the wind for the lack of bird images that came home on my camera’s memory card today. All of the bigger birds were riding the air currents high over Lake Pueblo State Park and the smaller birds were hunkered down out of sight (except for the Starlings and Doves). Featured today is the belly of an Osprey peacefully floating by. The one interesting (but not so good) shot that I got is what I believe to be a juvenile Blue Grosbeak. This bird seemed lost and confused and may have been a victim of the windy conditions.
