Winter on the Island

Winter is here and after settling down from our first major snowfall I have a brief respite before we head into Christmas full bore!
I did get a chance to go out and shoot a bit last weekend.  A trip down to the estuary in hopes that I'll see one of the four or five Short-eared Owls that are supposed to be there would give me a photo op.  No luck there but I did see some Meadowlarks, rare-ish for our area so that was unexpected!


While wasting pixels on a House Sparrow (can you see I was starved for photo ops?) this Bewicks Wren flitted through.  These little ones never stay put long but I did manage a couple shots before it was gone.


Now, if only the rain will stop so I can get out and try for some Eagles!
