Despite the cruddy weather, yesterday’s photo outing was quite good for me. I was most excited to find this cool raptor. Normally I see quite a few of these during the winter but this year, I have only seen one other and that one didn’t give me any worthwhile pictures. I spotted this one perched on a pole, riding out the rain that started the day. The rain coupled with dim lighting conditions made for difficult shooting conditions, so I was pretty surprised my pictures of it doing a flyby came out as well as they did. Not the best but far better that I would have expected. Hopefully I can find it again when conditions are better. My camera and I were pretty wet by the time we were done.
