Thanks MCHERPER, if it is still hanging around after its impending molt, I'll be sure to grab a few shots. I think it will look even better...

I like the kestral shot. I have a great kestral spot close by, and I saw a harrier hunting there this weekend, but didn't have the telephoto to get a nice close up shot.

I got this last week...my first...you know, bird photography is tougher than herps, but nobody hassles you or thinks your a poacher when you're birding...people do sometimes look at you funny when you aim a camera at their yard or trees though.
