Environment:Start Time: 8:25 AM Temperature: 50 degrees Sky: Sunny. Cooler (50 degrees) and calmer (not a hint of a breeze) this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. I really saw a good variety of birds out on the trail but very few were willing to come close and pose for me. I was surprised by the appearance of an Osprey and a Double Crested Cormorant. My only bird capture is today’s featured image – a Townsend’s Solitaire. Weather outlook for tomorrow is not good but I hope the colorful leaves make it through.

I was surprised to find a lot of human activity at Lake Pueblo State Park this morning. Perhaps I should start taking pictures of dog walkers and fishermen since the birds and critters are really getting scarce. As always, I was really hoping to get a photo of an Eagle or possibly a Western Bluebird. As always, it didn’t happen. In fact I only took one photo today and that is today’s featured image above. What is it? Well I didn’t know what it was…
