The weatherman got it right again. Cloudy and cool with the promise of rain. I don’t like these low-light days, but with Spring migration in the air I figured it was worth a try. I didn’t see any migrants, but it was well worth the trip.

If you see a small hawk with a white rump hunting in the marsh grasses, it’s a Northern Harrier.
Cornell:
“A long-winged, long-tailed hawk of open grassland and marshes, the Northern Harrier forages by flying slowly low above the ground looking for small rodents. It is one of the few raptors in which the sexes look quite different: the male is white below with a light gray back and hood, the female is mottled in browns.”

Wow, these are all great captures Hugh. Particularly love the Osprey with the fish.
I was able to sneak up on this guy because I saw him from a distance.
You may not like the quality of the light but that certainly doesn’t impede the quality of these photos, Hugh. The softness of the mist is an intimate wrap around your subject, in each one of them.
Thank you!
