The day started cool and clear but soon became windy and cloudy. Kites were around but uncooperative. A young northern harrier on a hunting trip came by...
There were two of your Northern Harriers flying low on the east side of the Rock this morning, Cleve. Beautiful birds. They made up for the lack of peregrines....
This afternoon, the ferruginous hawk flew and posed on the ground for me, but always at a distance of 300 yards or more. It was a bit windy, but worse, the...
