Hawks, Hummingbirds, Cardinals and more Sept 4 2010

A busy day - spend the morning at Rosetta McLean Raptor Watch - some nice birds - really low. The colours of the water and the clouds was wonderful. The afternoon Peter and I went to Cranberry Marsh and saw my first close up of a Broadwing Hawk. There were many many hummingbirds there. Nice.

This morning at Rosetta McLean Gardens.
