I’m into day seven of my ten day Isolation sentence – starting to feel a lot better. Once again a retro-post with some pretty cool Kingfisher shots form this day in 2020. Environment:Start Time: 11:30 AM Temperature: 51 degrees Sky: Sunny, no clouds, light breeze Spectacular weather continues. I’m not sure why the birds are making themselves so scarce. Maybe the continued presence of Red-Tails and Kestrels has something to do with it – not sure. That is not to say that today’s photo efforts went unrewarded. I managed to spot a male Belted Kingfisher perched along the Arkansas River…

Here is another blast from the past while I recuperate. Environment:Start Time: 8:35 AM Temperature: 48 degrees Sky: Sunshine with light breeze. December is starting out on the warm side. I mean walking along the river in a T-shirt is not what you would expect. Not complaining though. Activity is picking up, too. There were a lot of American Robins darting in and out of the trees along the Arkansas. I think this was a group of migrants stopping for a rest. They were popping down to the water for some pretty long sips of water as pictured below. I…

After returning from my Holiday visit to San Francisco I am facing two issues. First, of course, is the super cold weather and, second, I managed to pick up a bug somewhere along the way. Right now I am thinking (hoping) chest cold but I am not in a position to go out walking in the woods. Instead I am dipping into two years of archived posts and giving you, my loyal reader, a little trip down memory lane. Enjoy. Environment:Start Time: 2:40 PM Temperature: 60 degrees Sky: Sunny, no clouds, light breeze The last day of November turned to…

Environment:Start Time: 3:50 PM Temperature: 68 degrees Sky: Sunny with light breeze. Back out for a late afternoon stroll through the still brilliant Autumn leaves. I cut things a little short due to a lack of action and the fact that it was a little warm for the way I was dressed – I was getting hot! But I did get a couple of decent captures. For the gallery image (below) I offer the Great Blue Heron that seems to like this one particular spot on the Arkansas River – I’ve found it there around four or five times (like…

Environment:Start Time: 8:25 AM Temperature: 50 degrees Sky: Sunny. Cooler (50 degrees) and calmer (not a hint of a breeze) this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. I really saw a good variety of birds out on the trail but very few were willing to come close and pose for me. I was surprised by the appearance of an Osprey and a Double Crested Cormorant. My only bird capture is today’s featured image – a Townsend’s Solitaire. Weather outlook for tomorrow is not good but I hope the colorful leaves make it through. Sightings:Birds: Mallards, Blue-winged Teal, European Starlings, Canada…
