AvesInArt Challenge Day 2

Today we took one of our favorite family field trips - heading to the Hammonasset Beach State Park for some birding, and stopping along the way at the Book Barn in Niantic.  Here's Jorge's submission for today, a female Northern Harrier, captured as she cruised her hunting circuit over the marsh.
NORTHERN HARRIER, Circus hudsonius
Sue's subject was closer at hand, a Song Sparrow foraging for grass seeds, partially concealed behind last summer's dried marsh grasses.
SONG SPARROW, Melospiza melodia
