A rather warm morning temperature and the promise of a windy afternoon got me going early today at Lake Pueblo State Park. The leaves are still looking good, though certainly past their prime – today’s feature image. Bird-wise today’s tour was not as exciting as my past several walks – it looks like the owls are not morning people. Pictured here are the two prize captures of the day – a Ladder-backed Woodpecker (says Google) who was very interested in the Walking Stick Cactus and very hard to photograph. To top things off (on the bottom of the post) I got a Northern Flicker who was easier to photograph.
