Well things did not go quite as planned today. The beautiful day it was, I had hoped to get out earlier. Unfortunately I only managed a brief walk out in Boundary Bay just before the sun went down.
There were the usual Northern Harriers up and hunting. Use to seeing them roosting on logs or down in the marsh when they stop to rest,
… this adult male Harrier provided a change of pace by choosing this tree.
There were some Short-eared Owls cruising the area along with several Snow Owls roosting. There were still lots of photographers going after the owls so I did not bother to head out.
On my way back I did manage this shot of a Northern Harrier making a pass at a Snowy Owl roosting on an old stump. The Snowy ended up there after being flushed off another log by a photographer. They just can’t seem to get a break some days.
