This pretty lady has become a regular at this spot. Three weeks in a row I have seen her on the same downed tree. I, of course, am not complaining as she is just gorgeous and gives me some nice captures. This past Saturday, in the wake of a light snowfall, she was there, just keeping watch and staying warm in the early morning sun. Best of all, she granted me an audience and let me get some nice closeups – far easier than trying to get pics of these erratic flyers when they are hunting. Have a great weekend!
