A shot taken in late afternoon today, Nov. 7, 2014, at the Ridgefield NWR. The Northern Harrier was perched on a post and took flight in a nice circular path in front of me. Canon 5D Mark III, 1/1250, f5.6, ISO 1600, 700mm (500 + 1.4x III), 4:16 p.m.

Really a beautiful shot. He looks like a bronzed bird!
Thank you, Sue! It turned out to be a nice day of shooting!
