    At least you had a great day. I love them all, especially the second from the last.

    Excellent shooting, Knight.

    Love #1 and #4 - I've never come across a bobolink myself. The last one definitely looks like a northern harrier to me.

    #4 and #5 just jump out at me. Awesome shot of the Harrier against those ominous looking clouds. And #4 with the food in the mouth could not have been timed more perfectly. Awesome work Glenn.

    That last one in the second series is very nice! The colors and patterns in the field is terrific - hope you continue to shoot there.

    I haven't seen harriers in my parts since the snows melted. True to their name, they all must have gone your way

    Re: A few from today.

    Thanks Scott get out and shoot and shoot

    Think i finally have a ID on my mystery bird , I'm gonna go with a Upland Sandpiper . The one with the colorful field is a Male Northern Harrier , it`s almost Grey in color. As for that field Loupey it`s probably been cut for hay ,i will have to make another detour this week Now Paul will probably set me strait on my ID`s later lol

    Oh BTW its Paulnj`s BDay today , so Happy egg hatching day oh guru of the Bird Kingdom
