Yet another hazy morning. I think we are in for a hazy Summer. Conditions were still good for walking as long as you limited your breathing. Really not a lot going on at Lake Pueblo State Park this morning. The Arkansas River, though lower than yesterday, is still pretty high – I saw few fishermen. The Canada Geese are getting back out on the water and the young ones are getting bigger fast – today’s featured image. The most cooperative bird of the day, a Red-winged Blackbird, is posted below.
