Got a much earlier start this morning thanks to clear skies and warm 53 degree temperature. Got started right at 6:15. Just like yesterday there was only a single Osprey working the fishing pond this morning. He was not putting on the same type of show as in previous mornings. Today he was perched high in a tree possibly digesting the days catch. Other than that it was a pretty uneventful walk. Both the Heron nest and Starling nest that I have been keeping tabs on showed no signs of activity. I think the baby Starlings may have already fledged…

Excellent weather and light this morning. Made it to the river around 830 AM. The Mule Deer were out in force this morning. Started the walk with a couple of tourist style shots of the deer and then completed our circuit with no interruptions for photography. Once again I drove over to the Osprey Picnic Area to check out the heron nest. It was occupied but offered no real opportunity for a decent picture. Sightings: Birds: Starlings, Osprey, Kestrel, Canada Geese, Heron, Wood Ducks, Hawk, various small unidentifiable birds (I call them flitty birds). Critters: Mule Deer Here are two photos…
