Heron Lake State Park - Los Ojos, NM - August 9, 2019
We left Durango ... Jim and Kathy headed back to Flagstaff ... and we headed to Heron Lake State Park in New Mexico ... about 3 hours away. We were hoping to extend our stay in the cool of the high country for a bit longer before heading back to Tucson.

| Heron Lake is actually a large reservoir |
We set up camp and headed out for a hike ... Salmon Run Trail ... which skirts the lake.
Our big find was an osprey nest with two chicks in the nest (looked nearly as large as the adults ... but had not seemed to have fledged yet) ... the female was on a branch near the nest and the male was on top of a dead pine tree.
We got in a good hike and managed to get back just before a rainstorm hit ... Fritz and Bambi both got a "rain water rinse" (and they needed it).

| "Mom ... it is boring just sitting here!" |

"Please ... we just want to have some fun!"
