Kind of an eerily quiet morning out on the trail today. But I did end up with a couple of bucks – today’s featured image. These two guys are really sprouting some impressive headgear. Still only one juvenile Cooper’s Hawk left but he did give me a pretty nice pose. The Osprey were quite visible though apparently not hungry. Below is a Summer scenic view that kind of demonstrates the tone of the park – I shot it with my phone .
