Refuge Tuesday

The refuge continues to be fairly quiet as far as raptors are concerned. The numbers are slowly increasing..three Kestrels, 5 Harriers and the first Rough-legged of the season. No eagles in sight. Lots of ducks..sometimes the water looks like it is made up of black dots.

Lighting was rough..started sunny then clouds and smog came in. 

Lots of these beautiful Pintails..


Caught the Rough-legged hovering. Never did go down after its prey.  Sure is a beautiful being..



Common Merganser, male...


These Black-crowned Night Herons were gathered together after a Harrier had disrupted whatever they were doing. Counted 8.


Several GBH's hanging out, some in the shrubs on the side of the road and some like this one..
