Refuge Friday

Another beautiful day to be out - just me this time. Rough-legged, Harriers, and Red-tailed hawks were hunting, as were a couple of Kestrels. The Kingfisher made an appearance and I photographed the ice that the last warm wind brought in. Very relaxing..

"Grumpy old men" hanging out away from hunters.

Waited for me in a Russian Olive tree by the side of the road.

Ice broken up and blown by the last warm windstorm.

Red-tailed Hawk - juvenile. It posed for various folks today and seemed unafraid.

Kingfisher - I could hear him but it took a while to find him. He waited!!

Same Redtailed as above, just hiding in the trees this time.
