#55 and Lifer #5!
I went to the game lands again this morning. No new species, but I did see a male Northern Harrier, the "Grey Ghost." *Shock* It was so exciting! For whatever reason, it seems more common to see the female, and this was my first glimpse of a male! It was very cool! (I also spotted two Red-tail Hawks while I was there and flocks of Cedar Waxwings and Red-wing Blackbirds)

Photos of the male Northern Harrier   (Three photos, you can scroll through them)

In the evening, poisonivy Author Icon and I drove to see #55, Short-eared Owls! There were three of them and another male Harrier (along with a female Harrier)!

It was an exciting birding day! *Smile*
