Things remain kind of quiet along the Arkansas River. We still have Cormorants, Kingfishers, Herons, Mallards and one or two Osprey still at work. There were also a good number of Mule Deer out and about. One of them is today’s featured image – a nice view in an open space. There were also a couple of American Kestrels who were more active than I usually see.
