Sue Bishop: Great closeup, Brian!
Brian Morin: This was the hawk of the day. I had a banner experience with 26 Rough-legs, a high count for the winter but this was the only one that offered me a chance to memorialize the outing. It also ended up being one of my better perched shots of the species.

Hamilton - Long-tailed Ducks are common in the area in winter but I had to capture this bird. It had the longest tail I have seen on this species.

Ahmad Shah: Fabulous capture, superb detail.
Brian Morin: Thanks. The light, while dull, gave uniform colour. The lack of wind kept the water like glass.

Red-tailed Hawk (13)

Buteo jamaicensis

Date taken: Dec 2 2024

Details: adult

Kingston (Wolfe Island) - A common raptor but it is hard to get good shots of them, especially an adult. I loved the way it was perched, especially showing the tail. It faced away so I called it to get it to look my way. It worked!

Chris: A great portrait. The lighting is exceptional
Brian Morin: This was luck on all counts. I had heard about this particular bird the day before but didn't know where it was until I tripped over it so to speak. The setting was better than I had imagined and the light was perfect. I actually had to back up to get the shot because I was too close.

St. Rose - I took advantage of morning sun looking for winter field birds. There were few but I did come across four Horned Larks. This Northern subspecies is with us throughout the winter and will leave in early March.
