The surfers love this weather.

Es war kalt und ziemlich stürmisch - einzelne Surfer trauten sich aufs Wasser.
A dapper Rough Legged Hawk posing outside our car window in the later afternoon hours. Love it when they ignore you :) I really like this very light version.
Lake Michigan water level is quite high, I took this shot while visiting over near Holland where the waves had a lot to say.
We made a second visit up North trying to cash in on our previous success two weeks before. Although conditions changed dramatically from the snowy landscape to the flooded farmlands now, I was able to find one cooperative Rough Legged that sat still as we rolled up to it. It sat there and just watched us as we took tons of shots. I was finally able to get very close shots. Image was not cropped. We even got closer ones on the next pass.
this scene I have taken at 6.30 in the morning from another boat. The weather was very difficult and the skipper broke up our fishing tour 10 minutes later.
Thanks for visit and don't forget to leave a comment, please.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this,
and this gives life to thee.

São Vicente (Portuguese for "Saint Vincent"), also Son Visent or Son Sent in Cape Verdean Creole, is one of the Barlavento islands of Cape Verde off the west African coast..
The island, of volcanic origin, is fairly flat. Its highest point is Monte Verde (green mountain), located in the northeast-central part with an altitude of 725 metres (2,379 feet).
A couple of days ago I put a mono image up of a walking trail leading to the top of a hill. Well, when you got to the top of the hill this is one of the sights to be found there. This narrow gorge felt the full impact of the Atlantic tide as the water rushed in and out again creating gushing water spouts where it sucked in and out of crevasses and half submerged caves. Quite a bit of pure and natural drama, most enjoyable to stand there and be immersed in the moment.

This Buteo is the member of that hawk family in North America which is most associated with cold climates. They breed in the Arctic, and their winter migration range does not extend beyond the mid and south USA. We often observe them over wintering here in central Alberta.
Edmonton, Alberta.
An American Magpie (Pica hudsonia) patiently and I would say boldly waits next to Rough-legged Hawk (Buteo lagopus) as it feeds on a white goose, likely dead from the avian flu which occurred in the migrant flocks of geese in the area. It would attempt to scavenge any bits of scraps left by the hawk which was observed feeding in a stubble field east of Tofield, Alberta, Canada.

The path between wood buttresses may seem easy to some but these two snails are in for a rough journey.
Not the sharpest of images, but a nice documentation shot of this beautifully-marked Rough-leg. Interestingly, I've seen only one of this species in my many years of birding (granted, not prime RLHA territory) and never gotten a good photo. Last weekend, while exploring Lincoln County and other areas along the Mississippi River north of St Louis, my friends and I spotted something around 10 individuals, including a gorgeous dark phase. It's quite the irruption year...
Looks better on B l a c k M a g i c
This is a shot taken the morning after we arrived in Pappette, Tahiti, the water was real choppy, and I noticed the ferry starting to run again between the islands after being stopped or a couple of days because of the Cyclone. I know you cant seethe ferry in this shot, but I hope i caught the fel of the rough conditions
I was sure Happy not to be on the ferry the conditions were real rough and it was rocking up nd down in a big way
