Winter’s last full day turned out a little better than I expected. What started as an unremarkable walk ended with a bang when I spotted an Osprey perched over the Arkansas River which he was studying intently. He was a little soggy from what I assume was an unsuccessful fishing trip but apparently undaunted. In total I saw three Osprey which ins enough for me to declare Osprey Season officially open. As and added bonus I also spotted an American Bald Eagle cruising the park high overhead. Looks like Spring is getting off to a good start.
