Never give up

Never give up regardless of bad weather.  Sometimes the worse the weather gets, the better the opportunities.  Brigitte and I try to visit Klammath Falls, Oregon every February to photograph all of the Wintering Bald Eagles. A few years we visited and were met with the worst weather ever.  It was pounding snow with gail force winds.  Most of the birds we grounded in low spots to hide from the wind.  We discussed not going out, but decided to see what we could find.  It turn out to be a good day.  The Northern Harrier in the photo below was unconcerned with our presence worried more about surviving the conditions.  Harriers are normally very camera shy,   Brigitte shot this from out of the car window with her Canon 500mm f.4 lens
