Field Notes

Notes:

This is my first and best attempt at photographing a soaring bird. I am still getting used to keeping the bird in the view finder, plus it doesn't help that this bird was about 200 feet in the air...I have a decent zoom. My wife and I had spotted several red-tails this day along with a northern harrier.
