Immature Northern Harrier on the wingImmature Northern Harrier on the wing – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1/2000, ISO 640, +1.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 235mm, natural light, not baited

Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans. I was supposed to go shooting this fine morning but that didn’t pan out. Instead I was stuck at home.

We broke another record high for the day but tomorrow is supposed to be colder. It might even snow.

Well, that is what the weather forecasters are saying and they are never wrong, right (just imagine me rolling my eyes)?

So I missed out on seeing the Northern Harriers, Bald Eagles and American Kestrels at Farmington Bay WMA this morning. I decided to post an older image of an immature Northern Harrier on the wing. They are such graceful fliers and I love the warm tones of this young bird against the sky.

Life is good.
