Great post, Larry. I still want to get a chance to visit SNWR. When is the best time of year to go to see the most species? I'll also have to check out Ranchos Esquon/Llano Seco. Mary Carlsons last blog post..Skywatch Friday # 34

@Amber thanks a bunch for your enthusiasm. I will post some more of this trip when I get a chance. I am also going to the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge this Saturday to spend a day photographing birds. Wish me luck as I hope to capture a nice shot of a Peregrine Falcon!

@Bernie thanks for stopping by and it’s good to see you’re back!

@Kim I have no comment on your butt shots but as far as the harassment goes, most birds of prey are harassed by other smaller birds that are more maneuverable than they. Crow harasses Red-tail harasses Eagle. Just last week I witnessed a Red-shouldered Hawk being harassed by a much more agile Kestrel. I figured that the RSHA must have been in the Kestrel’s territory.

@Thomas thank you for your kind words. Your series on the White-browed Fantail Flycatcher are astonishing!
