Northern Harrier hunting at Whitewater Draw73 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.

Yellow-Headed Blackbird67 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.
