Finally had a chance to get out of the city over the weekend! Only had time for a brief trip, so we headed up to Oak Hammock Marsh. Not a whole lot of birds to see yet, but it's always great to leave town! Blue skies and warm temps, what could be better...
There was even some open water! Yay!
Lone tree and distant, colorful clouds
The sky was so pretty
We only saw Canada Geese there, but returned to town by Blackdale Road, and saw a distant hawk! Picture kind of sucks, but looks like a Rough-Legged Hawk to me!
What a great day.

Isn't it wonderful when Old Man Winter starts to lose his icy grip? We had temps in the 70's last Friday then 6 inches snow two days later.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! I get so impatient for spring...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I'm glad to say we're finally snow free on this side of Lake Ontario. But Rough-legged Hawks make up for a lot of the pain of winter, don't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! Yes, there are definitely advantages to the winters! Didn't get a chance to get out looking this time, but have seen four Snowy Owls in a day in a past winter!
ReplyDeleteYou had a big sky that day, nice images. That's a Rough-legged for sure.
ReplyDeletehi Harold, thanks for the ID confirmation! And yes, I love those big open skies, am definitely a prairie girl!
