Snow Day

There were lots and lots of hawks to watch today, most of them seeming to play in the snow rather than hunt.  These two Northern Harrier females were off in the distance and were having so much fun in the heavy snow.  Why do Harriers love intense weather so much?

Rotary Park was pretty quiet except for two squirrels who harassed me the whole time I was there.  I would have needed a macro lens to get a shot of the black one, he was so intent on searching me for peanuts, but this cutie stayed at least far enough away so I could focus.

This one was quite beautiful and looked very cold!

Give me peanuts...or at least a sweater!
