Refuge Monday

Sounds familiar? It is!
After the kids left Molly and I visited the refuge to enjoy a sunny day in the outdoors. A beautiful day, only a few duck hunters as you might imagine with the clear skies. Harriers, retails and a kestrel or two - along with GBH and shorebirds. Molly and I took a nice walk through a meadow where she chased something around - real or imaginary!
Enjoy!

Great Blue with a catch..

Scratch very carefully with talons like that..

Toss your catch in the air to swallow it properly..
