I got a couple of dawn sky images, but it wasn&#8217;t as colorful as I&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>Artemesia was as fruitful as it was last week. There were plenty of interesting birds willing to pose, and the light was nearly as good as it gets.\u00a0 The Trumpeter Swan is still hanging around, and a couple of Mergansers posed as well. I only got one look at the Eagle, who flew right in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>Yet another very good morning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=40947\" rel=\"attachment
