Back in the office and in front of the DD, I’ve spent the day getting caught up which means moving all the images from last week’s Bosque Base Camp to the network. I kinda love that process because I get to relive the week all over again as I see the images moves from the external drive to the network. I came back with a whole lot of images, not sure of the count yet other than I have 167 D3s video clips to edit and create a final video. Oh, I need Santa to put some time under the tree for me. Honest, I’ve been good.

Northern Harriers are a cool bird. There were a lot of them at Bosque this year affording a whole lot of photo opps. This particular female (males are silver, females brown in case you were wondering) hung out a lot on this one perch on the Farm Loop. This particular time we found her in gorgeous light and with no one else around to scare her off. How long is long? Well, in reality it was just a heartbeat but it was long enough. Here’s a brief D3s video clip from a prior attempt with her that, well, was even briefer.
While the truck was turned off, the wind was buffeting us pretty darn good which you can see in the video. I was basically handholding the rig so it’s not the steadiest of images. I have though learned a better way to post the video so the quality from that perspective is better. Small improvements each day, I can live with that.
