Sun on the snow

The storm broke for a day and the sun shone - very brightly on the snow. Makes you think about how to take a photo when so much brightness is usually somewhere in the frame.
Murph and I went back to the refuge again - as usual, a few gems showed up, some repeated from another time and others just waiting for us. In addition to the birds, there were some nice landscape shots.

The Rough-legged Hawk caught us on the way out.

Peaceful and beautiful.

This gives new meaning to the phrase "Ice Fishing"! There is no open water within 100 yards of him!

American Kestrel - male (orange on the top of the head).

The ubiquitous Canadien Goose - such gracefulness, almost swan-like in his pose.
