Thanks to another birder, I was able to see a Common Loon at Veteran’s Pond today. That was followed closely with a Wild Turkey near Veteran’s Parkway, and then a flyover of 2 flocks of Sandhill Cranes, (approximately 40 and 10) at Les
Bois racetrack. Most of “the usual suspects” cooperated for a 40-bird ride, my first in a long time. So far, no Cassin’s Finches, but there’s still light (and hope!).

First thing that rules out Rough-legged is the first photo shows that the legs are not feathered all the way to the feet.

Male northern harrier. Older bird guide named them marsh hawks, a fitting name describing where they often hunted. Note the white rump, low flight pattern, longish tail. Females are brown to blend in as they nest on the ground often.
