Common Redpoll (in the rain)

Hooded Merganser

American Widgeon

Northern Harrier (formerly known as a Marsh Hawk)





Carolina Wren

Some recent photos taken at Duxbury Beach.  I've bought a permit, since I was chased off the last time I was there by the Harbor Patrol  The Redpoll photo is just adequate, I have to go back and try again.  There is a large flock in residence.  The Hooded was a huge distance away, but that 400 MM lens still does a nice job of defining him. And the same with the Widgeon.  The Harrier is a series of shots taken in one burst,  and altho not the shot I took at the Daniel Webster farm , are still nice to look at.  What a wonderful predator!  And a few Carolina Wren shots on my suet feeder, just because I love hin so.
