Field Notes

Description:

I am about 98% positive this is a pair of Ruby Meadowhawks, and I am 100% positive that they are getting it on

Notes:

Mississquoi national wildlife refuge. The most amazing thing about them is, when I got too close with the camera, they lifted up and flew away, still connected and landed a few feet a way from me to continue. Awesome
