Unlike Ted, I only had a couple of hours available to spend at the Forsythe NWR in NJ, but I tried to make the most of it. Sadly, the 2 Snowy Owls in residence were too far away to photograph but there were plenty of other opportunities. And as I continue to learn about the challenges of photographing BIF, I learned that 1/1600 just is not fast enough of a shutter speed to freeze Harriers in flight... live and learn! C & C welcome

Chris:
Nice shots, I saw the Harrier several times but was unable to take a shot as she stayed in front of the sun. Sorry about the snowy. I plan on returning at least twice in the coming days. Your RTH looks like mine. tree nest to the 2nd parking area?

Ted -

Yup, the RTH was in the tree above the parking lot for the walk-out boardwalk... Seconds after I took this shot, it took off to the southwest. FYI, there were several juvie eagles buzzing the ducks when I was there but too far away to get a decent shot..

Thanks, David! And we're never too knowledgeable to learn a new skill.

Nice captures Chris. I like the separation from the BG you got on the RTW. Looks good.

Thank you! I was fortunate to have some "room" to adjust...

Fine job Chris. For the harrier the wing blur is ok, the head looks like the pan was a bit jittery. That duck looks great.
