A dank, overcast day that ended in rain. Things always seem more difficult in the shadows. Put some sunlight out there and suddenly the world is wonderful.

These two birds are going to have to accomplish that. These are promised stills from videos captured on Thursday and Friday. The hawk is a special pleasure. Look at that attitude above.

I am still trying to identify this guy who I caught before the sun came up this morning, so could not see him clearly. Again, these are stills from a video.
