Pueblo Eagle Day+

Pueblo's Eagle Day was Saturday, Feb 4, and I worked the Arkansas Valley Audubon Society table for part of the day. This is a great nature event with programs all day, exhibits with live birds and other critters, and scopes out so people can see Bald Eagles that congregate on Lake Pueblo in winter.

The Air Force Academy also comes every year to fly their falcons including the dark Gyrfalcon in the the first photo.

Afterward I stopped at a lower portion of Pueblo State Park to walk and bird along the Arkansas River. The Black Phoebe was still there though not right on the river as there were fishermen in the river that had displaced it. I saw 1 American Pipit on a rock by the river. And though I could only find one Great Horned Owl that was hooting, there were clearly two who were engaged in a conversation likely related to breeding as it is that time of year here.
