Northern Harrier over Bush

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge - Lipsec, Delaware
October 9th, 2022
In my many visits to Bombay Hook, one of my wishes has always been that some wildlife would be available for this scene so I could capture the beautiful colors with wildlife as a major subject. As my wife and I were sitting in our van at this scenic view, and right after I told her of my years long wish, this young male Northern Harrier showed up. We watched as he hunted back and forth in the area looking for a late afternoon meal. Then, all of a sudden, he made his way towards this 'wish' scene and started hunting right over the bush, mid scene. I snapped off some images and was able to capture this scene. It was my favorite capture of the day and such an amazing treat to see.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
