Start Time: 10:40 AM Temperature: 41 degrees Sky: Sunny, high thin clouds, intermittent breeze
Another cold morning delayed my start today. Though it finally did break into the forties the air was quite crisp and when a breeze hit you, even in the Sun, you shuttered. Even so I took a long walk today since I skipped yesterday. I did not come home with much to show for my efforts, though. The only birds that were in capture range were a couple of American Coots. One American Kestrel was perched high up on a dead tree just far enough away to tempt me to try my luck. Today’s featured (and only) image is that cheeky Kestrel. Maybe next time it will be an Eagle.
