Environment:Start Time: 5:45 PM Temperature: 57 degrees Sky: Mostly sunny with fluffy clouds, light breeze Made it out to Lake Pueblo State Park in the early evening today.

The best bird shot of the outing is today’s featured image of an Osprey launching from its perch. I also managed to spot a Great Horned Owl who was either asleep or just resting its eyes. After I had completed my usual round I…
