Environment:Start Time: 7:50 AM Temperature: 50 degrees Sky: Sun. Picture perfect is the only way to describe walking conditions this morning. Spring continues to dominate with much nesting and childrearing going on. Featured is one of the brave Power Pole Osprey working on its nest. Pictured here is a hen Wood Duck heading for the river after a quick nest check. She was flying alone so I don’t know if dad was on duty or simply out with the boys. And the baby Great Horned Owls were kind of active today. After I was watching for a while, mother owl…

Environment:Start Time: 7:40 AM Temperature: 45ish degrees Sky: Sun and clouds. Although it was a little chilly at the beginning, today’s walk ended on the warm side. Featured is one of the newly minted Great Horned Owls peeking over the nest edge – only to see a goofy photographer staring at it. The little ones were a bit more active than usual but not enough to wake up mom on her nearby branch. I could not find the mother-to-be Cooper’s Hawk so I have nothing to report. Pictured here is an Osprey (one of the ones building on the power…

April 13, 2025

Environment:Start Time: 5:45 AM Temperature: 45ish degrees Sky: Clear. I did not do an “Official” walk this morning because I was up way before daybreak so I could stand on Lake Pueblo Dam and try to capture the setting of April’s Pink Moon. One of the results is today’s featured image. I Can’t say that I am super pleased with the result since I didn’t capture any detail in the Moon. It wasn’t pink either. On the way home I made a quick stop at the fishing pond to see if any Osprey were trying their luck. There was, in…
