A Walk on a Winters Day

Today was much cooler and rougher than yesterday, and the wind was coming out of the Northeast, not a friendly direction.

Do I see some white specks in the distance?

A few Tundra Swans behind the Port Republic sand bar.

Skye giving Georgia a hand up the hill.

I think this is a Red Shouldered hawk, sitting on a branch over one of the streets.

He turned sideways before he took off, giving us another view. This picture is not well well exposed, this was about a good as I could do with it before it turned into strange colors.
