After what has seemed like an eternity of dark and rainy days, my son and I took advantage of a clear Sunday (1-13-19) to head up north. First stop was the Hayton Farm Reserve on Fir Island. The view from the road leading to the parking lot is quite scenic. There is a large flock of ducks out in the field.
Our search for short-eared owls once again came up empty, but there were other birds, primarily eagles, to photograph. A juvie, probably a 2018 hatchling, was perched in a tree by the road and not far from the nest of the resident adult pair.
1Dx + 100-400L II telephoto zoom
7DII + 500L telephoto + 2x III teleconverter.
An adult flew in and landed on a tree next to the nest tree.
