Morning (dark, rainy, foggy), not much hope to see much, but Parker River always surprises me.
On a telephone pole, a Red-tail posing for me, and then, on my return to the gate to leave, a real show. I can't help myself, I will probably be photographing Red-tails for the rest of my life, I love them so. This is as close as I have ever been to one in the wild.

Here he is, before I've even entered the sanctuary. About 40 yards away. |
|
and on into the flats. A flock of Cedar Waxwings immovable in the rain. |
|
Mallard in take-off |
|
Northern Pintail. How elegant can a duck be? |
|
Even in the bad light, the chocolate stands out. |
|
Green-winged Teal |
|
Returning to the gate, I found him on one of the signs 5 feet off the ground. I stopped, rolled down my window, and
he just sat there, occasionally peering at me. |
|
Finally taking flight, he flew down the road past me. |
|
Then he suddenly landed even closer to me! About 10 yards away, he watched briefly, and then
finally had had enough and flew off over the marsh. |
|
"You lookin' at sumpthin' ?" |
|
"See ya!" |
