As expected, this Red Tailed Hawk is perched at the edge of the forest searching the fields for prey, as opposed to the Red Shouldered #Hawk, which would be hunting inside the forest!

We were lucky to get several passes from the Northern Harrier...the Columbia White Tailed Deer in the background also enjoyed watching!

This very shy juvenile Black Crowned Night Heron is perched in the branches above the pond near its parents. These migratory #birds return to their roosts each winter

Another one of the common and beautiful #birds we usually don't photograph, but this Great White #Egret was just asking to have a portrait taken (by T with the #P1000 ) at Koll Wetlands

Hiding in a warm car "blind" seemed like a better choice than in a cold wet field and let us get closer to the Short Eared #Owl (despite the darkness) at Ridgefield NWR tonight.

At least two Short Eared Owls flew up from the reeds yesterday at marker 12 at 3:45 before scared off by the families speeding by to see the pet deer at #RNWR

Uncommon for our area, we followed this Northern Shrike as it perced on branches and dived to ground after prey from marker 5 to 7 at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge Autoroute.

An unusual angle of thos Short Eared Owl as they usually are hunting 3 to 6 feet above the ground but this one seemed to have delusions of being a Hawk!

(None of the other Owl photographers looked up to see it!)

After watching the Black Crowned Night #Heron for 30 minutes, when the wind made it difficult to perch, I correctly guessed it would fly to a new perch!

Sometimes Birding can be a difficult hobby.... but being a bird photographer can be impossible.

Can You Identify this hidden Bird? Post your guesses!

Hint: taken today in the Pacific Northwest USA

(No, not a turkey. LOL)
