Good Things



A lovely, cold, windy walk today.  I went out in search of owls, Snowy, Long-eared, Great Horned, and Saw Whet and found none of them.  On the other hand I got a great look at this Peregrine Falcon and a number of sparrows and a whole huge flock of Rusty Blackbirds.  So while I have yet to figure out how to order up birds I do have good luck in finding great ones.  And, unlike many other things in life, I've never finished a walk and thought "Argh, I wish I hadn't done that."  A walk is always a good thing.

Hawk Watch



Cape May Point State Park was filled with hawks on Monday.  It was absolutely amazing.  The Harrier (top photo)  flew right past my face and a juvenile Peregrine Falcon flew into a tree very close, but unfortunately remained obstructed by branches and leaves.
