Environment:Start Time: 2:00 PM Temperature: 53 degrees Sky: Sunny, high clouds, light wind First outing in 2021. A basically ideal day if you ignored the wind. Apparently the smaller birds were not inclined to do so except for a group of Bushtits who were too busy to get their picture taken. Hawks were out really enjoying the wind but they used it mostly to circle high in the sky. I did get a couple of shots of a Red-tailed Hawk perched pretty far away and those shots are posted here. I’m pretty sure National Geographic isn’t going to be calling…

Environment:Start Time: 3:05 PM Temperature: 49 degrees Sky: Sunshine and clouds. A later afternoon outing found me on the South bank of the Arkansas River today. I switch banks on afternoon walks since that puts the Sun at my back as I walk along the river. What I don’t like is that there isn’t a good loop to walk so I have to travel the same country out and back which bothers me for some reason. Even so, I got some interesting shots in both directions. For one thing I got a new bird. Posted below is a Mountain Pipet…
