Week 4 - Old

This comet has been wandering space for thousands of years. The way I see it this would qualify as old.

Nice interpretation of desolation.

All caught up. The Oregon Redwood thing is my favorite so far.

I could so spend weeks photographing them now that I know what is there.

Had this one planned from the day I shot it. Interesting lock.

Week 8 - Roadside

Saw this very small hawk flying along the roadside marsh. Jumped out of the truck and ran to the rear to try and capture a shot or two of him flying away. Just as I got ready he did this flippy twist in the air and dove for something in the water which I would guess was a fish.

If anyone can identify this bird it would be appreciated. I have exhausted my resources and haven't figured it out.

Answer from the Bear River Bird Refuge via Facebook: Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge This is a Northern Harrier. Harriers are very common on the Refuge especially this time of year. They can be tricky to identify because the males, females and young look different. The males are gray on top and white underneath. The females are very similar to this in color but have a striped belly instead of tan. A bird with this coloration is a 1st year bird, meaning it hatched from an egg last summer. Soon it will be growing it's adult feathers. Harriers almost always hunt by soaring just about the grasses. Their wings form a slight V with the tips held higher than the body. Great photo!
