We returned to Great Sand Dunes NP after we spent the afternoon in Alamosa. We decided to take some things and go relax beside Medano Creek. A Common Raven was flying around our area while we lounged, most likely in search of any scraps left behind by other visitors.
As we left, I spotted a Black-billed Magpie flying over the parking lot in search of an easy meal.
