The Gray Ghost.
While I was focused on counting Snowy Plovers on my bi-monthly survey this morning I was lucky enough to get this Mouse-eye's view of a male Northern Harrier gliding overhead.
Good thing I'm not a mouse.

The photo that almost didn't happen...
I was about to head to the car as there were some pretty rough storms rolling in and wind was picking up pretty good (storm clouds in the upper left of the photo). But, one last look down beyond the signals and I saw the headlight of KCS2014 just barely shining on the rail head, so I stayed for one more.
I'm assuming this was a yard transfer, and when the train came around the corner at a snails pace, the sound of the 2 non-turbo 645s barking away in run-8 was just glorious. I get it why so many love the sound a 645...
As the train got closer, lo and behold a 2nd headlight popped around the corner resulting in a series of photos due to me playing with different exposures and F stops. This was the most workable with all the elements around (platform lights, building lights, storm light and most importantly, the Western Auto illumination timing...)
Pretty happy with this one, honestly.
KCS SD40-3 number 6600 is working the small yard at Neosho, Missouri on a clean spring morning in April, 2000.
A RCAF B-25 Mitchell bomber is given a Royal Navy Corsair escort over the Gatineau Airport - as part of Wings over Gatineau-Ottawa. First airshow I've attended in decades. Nicely done though - each aircraft was accompanied by music and news broadcasts from the era represented. The Corsair has been restored and dedicated as "Gray Ghost" in honour of, and as a flying memorial to, Lieutenant Robert Hampton Gray, Royal Canadian Navy, the last Canadian to earn the Victoria Cross during World War II. He lost his life when piloting his Royal Navy Corsair in an attack on Japanese warships in their home waters. www.navalandmilitarymuseum.org/resource_pages/heroes/gray...
Gray Ghost on his favorite perch by the end of the trail, with good lighting from this direction (and a little later in the morning).
Harriers, unlike most hawks, hunt with sound, and their facial feathers make make a disk-like antenna shape that 'collects' the sound, like an owl's facial feathers do. This photo shows this well.
I had the pleasure of this beauty hunting. I am glad I could capture few frames. FIRST PROCESSING FROM MY NEW MAC. Please share if it looks fine. 27 inch MAC calibrated with Spyder 4. Thanks for looking :)

John Mosby is my name.
Okay, that was a pretty obscure title, but bonus points for anyone that understands it without Googling. Hint: You must be pretty old to remember this.
