Northern Harrier looking for lunch at Whitewater Draw75 viewsThis Northern Harier was working along the fence next to the area where we were parked. We thought the day was over when we returned, and then this guy showed up.

Northern Harrier hunting at Whitewater Draw70 viewsFast moving bird, at about 50 yards, at the end of a day. By now the 200-500mm Zoom was pretty heavy. I had a tough time staying on this guy for decent shots. This was not good, but among the best nonetheless. Used a very close crop to lose an annoying post intruding on the frame to save the frame.

Keeping an Eye Out65 viewsGreat Horned Owl in the "Owl Shed" at Whitewater Draw Wildlife Preserve near Willcox, AZ. This is an open, but artificial, nesting "shed" that is actually right next to the parking lot. Mamma is on the nest at the other end of the shed.

Black Turnstone on a Santa Barbara Beach64 viewsI found this little one on a beach in Santa Barbara, actually in Goleta, on our Spring 2020 trip down to Arizona.

Yellow-Headed Blackbird63 viewsThis is a very poor shot, of an unusual bird I've never seen before. There are out of focus twigs and branches obscuring the lower body of the bird. I removed most of the background because the head and upper torso make the point.
