You know, as you have found while doing this, there are an awful lot of things out their now which, in their dry states, make absolutely excellent, eye catching shots 🥇🥇
I am posting today one of my favorite birds. The Female Northern Harrier has an Owl's flat face that helps it hunt. When looking straight down it can pick up sounds from its prey. It can hover like a Kingfisher and then dive down and capture it's intended target.
I do not make many bird pictures however how could I resist when I saw this one. The picture was captured through a dirty (lol) window and the Hawk was on a railing about 10 feet away. Can you imagine, no other birds anywhere close to the feeders? I always welcome your comments and suggestions!
Yesterday one of my neighbors invited my next door neighbor and me to tour the Hasenyager Great Salt Lake Nature Preserve at Farmington Bay. This preserve is the foundation for the Farmington Bay Wildfowl Management Area. He volunteers at the Eccles Wildlife Education Center at the preserve. We met him in the parking lot and he took us on a tour of the facilities.
While I am processing the bird photos that I took during the tour, this set shows the onset of one of the first sunny days we have had here for a while as soon from the overlook on the preserve.
BTW, I left him to go to lunch too soon. He took a walk and produced two wonderful shots of a bald eagle and a shrike.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
