Environment:
Start Time: 6:45 AM Temperature: 64 degrees Sky: Sun with a few clouds in the western sky.

Quite pleasant once again this morning thanks to a gentle breeze offering some temperature moderation. Even so you could tell that it was going to be a hot one today. The only birds I photographed today were (surprise) the Osprey family in what I have started calling the River Bend Nest. I was really surprised to see all three kids present. There were a lot of Osprey gliding high in the sky, probably other youngsters learning the secrets of flight. Otherwise I resorted to shooting the landscape. Pictured here is the morning sunshine lighting up a couple of Cottonwoods. To wrap things up today is an image of the Arkansas River with good old Liberty Point overlooking it all.
