Snowy Owls and more near the Horicon Marsh on January 14, 2015

By | | ,

I decided to make a run up to Horicon Marsh this morning. I had not been up there yet this winter and it was time. I met Dave Frerik up there early am and we had an exciting morning with  2 Snowy Owls, at least 6 Rough-legged Hawks, Northern Harrier and a couple of American Kestrels being the highlights.  Gloomy day with just a few snow flurries and cold temps, definitely felt like winter.  Images were taken on January 14, 2015.
