DailyPhotos > popular today > 2009 12-08 The first of my daily double.  Anna and I grabbed the kiddo and headed for the Skagit.  It was a bit slower than normal, but we got through joy of feeding in the car, and finding potty stops, and all that jazz.  This may even happen again soon :D.

Anyway, the highlight of my day was this little guy.  I've taken dozens of trips to the Skagit valley flats over the past couple years, and this is only the second one of these guys (it's a merlin if I'm not mistaken) I've seen...and the first one that afforded me good lighting for a decent shot.  

As for the Skagit progress report - didn't look for the owls today.  Lots of harriers, red-tails, bald eagles, swans and geese.  One rough-legged hawk with very drab coloring.  I didn't make the loop where I'm most likely to find the kestrels, but they were there on Sunday.  Also didn't see any peregrines today, but they're definitely around.  Lots of ducks near bayview (pintails mostly).
