Did you see many raptors up there?  I plan on hitting it again soon with the new toy.  Quite the spot if you got the time and a zoom lens.  Nice pics regardless.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Rob there were several Red-tailed along the 427. At Zenway there were 2 Harriers, 2 Red-tailed and 1 Kestrel

Is that a rough-leg in the last pic?

The white rump seen in the last picture is an indication of both the Rough-leg and the Harrier and you got them both in the same picture, very nice.

Reuven and Thomas, regarding ID of the 2nd bird, for what it's worth when I first saw it I thought it was a juvie Red-tailed!
