It’s early yet but the SEO's are beginning to show up. I had the opportunity of shooting them a few days ago and although the action wasn’t the greatest, it’s early in the season and by the looks of things the season should be a good one. And where there are SEO's you'll most always find Harriers. Anyway, here’s a few from my day with the owls.

3, 5, 6 and 7 are my picks from this sweet set Louie. Enjoying them a second time, 3 is superb with some nice environment as well as the clean background behind it.

Louie, You are making me anxious to see these guys again. As always great images. I took a scouting trip up there last week but did not spend the time for them to show themselves. Tons of snow geese and swans. Bruce

Appreciate it Dave, I'm pretty partial to SEO's and Harriers myself.

Thanks Bruce, they seem to come to come out around 3pm, but then you never really know when they might show.
