Northern harrier
At the bleeding edge of dawn
I know that six AM, when the sun is still a red ball and the harrier is mostly a dark splotch on the horizon, is not the best time to take birds in flight with a long lens. I think this was a crazy 1/125 of a second (handheld), so blur is obvious, but I feel that it captures the moment and the conditions well.
