Environment:Start Time: 8:00 AM Temperature: 38 degrees Sky: Mostly sunshine with a wicked breeze. Despite the moderate temperature of 38 degrees (F) conditions out on the trail were mostly miserable. I was out for less than an hour. Featured is a couple of American Coots who were freshening up in the Arkansas River. I was hoping the wind would entice the Hawks and/or Eagles to come out and ride the air currents rising off of the canyon walls. No such luck. The only birds taking advantage of the moving air were the Gulls. After all, Gulls just want to have…

Environment:Start Time: 8:30 AM Temperature: 40 degrees Sky: Sunny. All quiet this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. Even though the temperature was one degree warmer than yesterday when I started it seemed around three degrees colder. Maybe that was the reason so few birds were out and about. Today’s featured image is a couple of Killdeer who were prowling the bank of the Arkansas River. There were actually three of them but I never could get them all in one shot. I saw no Cormorants and no Osprey which I am taking as a sign of the times. Another…

Environment:Start Time: 8:40 AM Temperature: 48 degrees Sky: Sunshine. It’s Always Sunny at Lake Pueblo State Park. But not always active. Today’s photos are on the mundane side I’m afraid. I did see a couple of Great Blue Herons but that was about as sexy as it got. Today’s featured image is of a Gadwall Duck cruising on the Arkansas River. Below is another Song Sparrow but with a better background than the one I shot yesterday. I wish it would snow in the mountains so that the Bald Eagles would decide to come our way. I keep waiting.
