Environment:Start Time: 7:50 AM Temperature: 54 degrees Sky: Sun and clouds with a light breeze Got started a little earlier this morning which was a good thing because the increasing cloud cover had really subdued the sunlight by the time I had finished my walk. Today was another day of lots of loud bird chatter and few actual photo opportunities. The ever increasing foliage is making bird spotting tougher, too. But I still did okay in the photo department. The featured image is a Double Crested Cormorant perched high over the Arkansas River. “He” looks like he is making Cormorant…

This morning was even cooler at 59 degrees than it was yesterday at 6:15. Maybe tomorrow it will snow. Pretty cloudy but some sun especially near the end of my walk. Really a beautiful day for a stroll though the trails and lawns were a bit muddy as a result of last evening’s rain. The first thing Whisper and I did was check out the Osprey nest that I spotted yesterday. The reason I saw it was because I was following the flight of an Osprey who was carrying what looked like nesting material and s/he flew right to the…
