Last night’s rain made for some muddy trails this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park though the puddles were not as bad as I expected. There was a bit more activity in the bird world today. At one point checking the sky I could see five soaring Osprey with only a slight turn of my head. I guess they are all up in the sky to avoid those Attack Western Kingbirds that were around yesterday. Today’s (not very exciting) featured image is one of this year’s Canada Goose goslings showing its adult plumage. They grow up so fast! Below are the only other birds I shot today. I’m pretty sure that Northern Flicker is a Juvenile – don’t know about the Osprey.
