Yesterday afternoon was a wild day at the Farmington Bay Wildlife Refuge. There were easily 30 to 40 Harriers flying everywhere and most had no fear of a human. I stood by a pole and was shooting birds in front of me, above me and then behind me as they cruised around. WOW - what a day!
It started with a Rough-legged Hawk on the Kestrel house, then a kestrel that waited while I took his portrait, on to a young horned owl in a tree that sat and watched me, harriers, then a barn owl and finally a Great Blue Heron (GBH). The variety was inspiring as was the sunset - although much of the drama of the sunset was due to the smog in the valley - beautiful nonetheless. Photos of that later.
First - today is bird day!!
