Environment:Start Time: 9:50 AM Temperature: 50 degrees Sky: Sunshine with NO clouds. Back on the trail after yesterday’s detour to the Comanche National Grasslands. I have to say I am still tired from that trip. So I made today’s walk a bit shorter partly because of the afore mentioned fatigue and partly because I was out in my regular street shoes. My walking shoes got kind of wet yesterday when the tour group waded across the Purgatoire River to look at some dinosaur tracks and they (the shoes) have yet to dry out. Not much was going on today at…

Environment:Start Time: 8:25 AM Temperature: 60 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine and little breeze. Check out last year’s walk on this day! Not much going on this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. I mean when the featured image is an insect (Widow Skimmer) and the other two images are a duck (Blue-winged Teal) and a tree you know things are slow. The really sad note is that I did not see a single Osprey. Looks like the season is over for sure. I did see two Great Blue Herons but they were either too far away or duplicating poses…

Environment:Start Time: 9:30 AM Temperature: 46 degrees Sky: Sunny with some clouds and pesky breeze My outing this morning was a little unusual. When I got out of my car to start I immediately heard the unique chirp of an Osprey. It took a little looking about but I finally spotted the source pretty high up – an Osprey carrying a stick. Then I heard another Osprey who came into view and then another and then another. I guess today was some kind of Osprey festival because before I knew it there were eight Osprey circling high above the parking…
