Environment:
Start Time: 7:25 AM Temperature: 62 degrees Sky: Sunshine; Clouds and Wildfire Haze; no breeze
We started late again today because the sun was having trouble rising above some eastern clouds and a heaping helping of wildfire haze. It finally managed to cast decent light on the area but to no great benefit to my photographic expectations. I guess the coolest thing I saw was a belted Kingfisher on the opposite bank of the Arkansas River – too far away for a good shot. I was glad to see “him” because I have not seen one of those for some time. I also saw my new friends the turkey hens but they were deeper into the trees than the last couple of times we’ve met. So for today’s only picture I have reached back into my archive to a shot of a Downy Woodpecker I took August 19, 2018.
