Environment:Start Time: 7:30 AM Temperature: 57 degrees Sky: Sunshine with a light breeze Wall to wall sunshine was the order of the day. Lots of bird chatter in the trees and bushes but not too many appearances. The Swallows and Osprey were all content to do their thing high up in the sky. The Wrens and Blue Jays preferred sitting deep in the tree branches, the Kingbirds were all perching well off the trail and the owls were content to sit in mixed light making my job harder than it had to be. Both Owl portraits here were saved by…

Environment:Start Time: 6:55 PM Temperature: 62 degrees Sky: Sunshine, clouds with light breeze An ugly morning led to a late afternoon outing at Lake Pueblo State Park. Though the bird activity was less than frantic I managed to get the best look at the little Great Horned Owlet so far – today’s featured image. I think he is outgrowing the nest. After that there was not many birds looking to be photographed. Since the Sun was going down I headed up to the top of the Lake Pueblo Dam and tried a few sunset scenic views. One of those (better…

Environment:Start Time: 7:45 AM Temperature: 61 degrees Sky: Sunshine high clouds with light breeze Not much bird activity this morning despite the wonderful conditions. Not too many clouds or too much wind. Every bird I got a look at was either perched way up in the trees or flitting about deep in the budding foliage. So today’s images are all long shots. The featured image is of a group of Double Crested Cormorants who have elected, this season, to keep tabs on the Arkansas River from a perch near the Anticline Fishing Pond. I also spotted a pair of Kestrels…

Environment:Start Time: 7:55 AM Temperature: 48 degrees Sky: Overpowering sunshine with light breeze What a difference a day makes! Instead of all clouds, today it was NO clouds. Most of the birds were pretty busy today – not many took the time to pose for me. Today’s featured image is what could be a Rock Wren – its a Wren for sure. I tried to capture a Swallow in flight but the results were not exactly award winning. While I was trying to photograph the Swallows I noticed an American Kestrel blast through the swirl of birds – trying for…

Environment:Start Time: 8:55 AM Temperature: 46 degrees Sky: Overpowering clouds with light breeze Almost did not go out this morning. The clouds were thick and getting steadily thicker. Like yesterday only worse. But I am really glad that I did not succumb to the depression emanating from the sky. Yesterday one of my spotters clued me in to the location of a Great Horned Owl’s nest and today I managed to locate it. Today’s featured image is of an owlet peering out at the world, wondering what that thing I was pointing at him was. I’ll be keeping tabs on…
