Environment:Start Time: 9:50 AM Temperature: 46 degrees Sky: sunshine, moderate wind I pushed myself to get out to the river as early as possible today so that I might be able to avoid the strong winds that the local weather lady was predicting for this afternoon. Well, I guess those winds hadn’t heard the forecast because they were firmly established by the time I arrived. It was too bad since the light was really nice and there was practically no one else in the park. Very few fishermen were in or around the river. Not many birds were venturing out…

Environment:Start Time: 12:50 PM Temperature: 44 degrees Sky: Sunny, high clouds, light breeze This was a great day with which to end 2020. Calm and pleasant. It took most of the morning to get warmed up but it was well worth the wait. I posted up on the South bank of the Arkansas with the thought of doing some more duck video. I did get a couple of videos that I still need to edit so posting them here is going to have to wait. One thing I have to confirm when I work on those files is that I’m…
