Yet another quiet day out on the trail. The Osprey were the most active which earned (at least one of them) both the featured image spot and the bottom picture as well. I did find one of the Cooper’s Hawks in the vicinity of the nest – complaining loudly but also tucked well into a very hidden perch. Pictured here is what Google says is a Western Wood Pewee – I would have called Flycatcher but I’ll go with Google. Also pictured below is the Green Heron that I, again, failed to sneak up on. Here it is on the other side of the Arkansas River.
