Lunchtime Picnic

When we speak of backyard lunches, warm summer days come to mind.  Not true for this Broadwing Hawk (or his quarry).  Can you see the snow flakes falling?  Shot from inside our house, through two panes of very dirty glass, this hawk ate his lunch then proceeded to "brush his beak" with the tree branch at his foot.  Very cool.

Raptor Conservancy

I got the chance to spend an afternoon at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy earlier this month. I set a personal record; 1138 shots in 3 hours.
