Any blue skies you see here are artificial :)
Featureless gray skies with low ceiling, mist in the air, some fog - yuck, yuck.
Canon SX50, burst mode. Heavy crops, lots of edits - including adding catch lights to the kestrel's eyes :)

LOL - it was kind of a prolific day after all. We saw 13 - 15 bald eagles, among other goodies.
Thanks so much for viewing.

Thanks Randy! 13 - 15 bald eagles today; guess they were grounded by the fog.

Thanks so much for your kind words. We are very lucky to have all these beauties hang around. Here is another shot of the maybe-harrier if that will help you ID. I'd heard that "gray ghost" name here on UHH. Very neat!
