Belted Kingfisher at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

Perfect weather presented itself this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. My doggie companion and I had a great but pretty uneventful walk. All of today’s photos are well cropped long shots. Featured is a Mule Deer Doe and her maturing Fawn who were also enjoying a stroll along the Arkansas River. I spotted my favorite Green Heron again and he (?) continues to keep his distance. Also pictured here is a female Belted Kingfisher who was also trying to take a meal from the river’s water.
