Refuge Tuesday

 The sky was mostly cloudy with some sun filtering in from the south. Regardless, the sky backgrounds were mostly boring. 

Mostly duck hunters out with a couple of birders. Not a lot of gunfire so apparently ducks weren't flying or flying low. 

Lots of Juvenile Red-tailed hawks sitting around and often looking goofy. Several pheasants came out of hiding and one Kingfisher.

I had two cameras, a rental that I was trying out and my old one. You may see the same bird twice in the photos below as I took photos to compare the two cameras. Fortunately the hawks were not in a hurry, to the point that one waited about 30 minutes for me to come back and get a clearer photo of it.

Here's my favorites.....
