A male "Gray Ghost" northern harrier hunts along the railroad tracks at Bay Point Regional Shoreline.
My wife's family was visiting from out of state. We decided to visit Southport, NC on Saturday. Photo taken from the shore of the Cape Fear River in Southport. Near the end of our visit, a Brunswick County Sheriff boat accompanied a tow boat towing a sailboat.
The preceding sticker works well to grab your attention because the brite pink contrasts highly with the drab gray sign back. These black and white stickers are all but lost in the gray.
Speaking of which, the ugly battleship gray paint here is the work of Fred Radtke, a frustrated artist whose attempts at grafitti can only be seen as amateurish at best. Radtke claims to be "helping" to fight graffiti with his pathetic slatherings of Battleship Gray, but he actually creates more graffiti than he covers. Writers and stickers actively seek out Radtke's gray blobs as they create near perfect frames to showcase their work. To date, Radtke has inspired more artists than he has stopped and he has actually slopped more paint on public spaces than the most prolific writers could ever hope to.
Keep up the good work Fred!
Lylah decided that the whole retrieving the fish thing was cool!
They will retrieve practically anything! This was one of the smaller fish too, they were ugly & huge!
This is the last in the little set ofr playing with the fish!
After the interaction between the two male Northern Harriers, the chase began. Only it was very slow. Kinda funny to watch.
One of the last birds I saw for the day and it was the best. The light was right and he flew right in front of us.
A special thanks to the park employee at Hayward Shoreline Winton Avenue. He was kind enough to come looking for us to let us know the gates closed at 5:00 pm. It was almost 5:45 when he found us. I didn't get his name, but I really appreciated him looking for us. I know that won't happen again. Whew.
A red-winged blackbird chasing away a much larger northern harrier. I'm guessing there is a nest nearby.
This male Northern Harrier was flying around a property I was watching, and he almost gave me a couple of good pix. But I have had not had much luck photographing the Gray Ghost, so I'm keeping them.
