As today was hovering just over the freezing level I took myself off to Middle Creek to see if I could see and hopefully photograph the 7 Sandhill Cranes and the Rough-legged Hawk that have been around for while. While there I met a friend from the Hawkwatch and together we went to end of the Tour Road where the Rough-legged had been seen recently. Damn it was cold due to the strong wind in our faces, it may have been over the freezing level but the wind chill definetly wasn't. Wasn't long before we saw it flying towards us and I grabbed my camera from the front seat but it had turned away. Bugger! After we went our separate ways I went up to the Visitor Center to check out the feeders and take a much needed leak. Lots of Sparrows, Juncos Cardinals and an aggressive Mockingbird but nothing worthy of a shot. I did take a scenic shot looking towards the lake though.
