Northern Harrier at Sands Road Park

The warblers are gone, and the sparrows are fast disappearing. The ducks aren’t here yet, so it’s hard to know where to go.
I got to Sands Road around dawn and spent a hour or two looking around the edge of the big field without much luck. The marshy area near the parking lot had a lot of birds, but it was tough to get a good shot through all the brush. I did find a few birds in the open, but it was a slow morning over all.
