Dark Morph Roughleg and Mr. Towhee


I saw six Rough-legged Hawks while driving farm roads and the Wastewater this morning.  One south of the RC airport was my first dark-morph of the season.  Nothing much else (a few eagles and larks), so I headed to the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve hoping the sun would keep shining for pictures.  It didn't.


Several handfuls of sunflower seed brought 13 species to the pavilion feeders, the usual suspects (chickadees, cardinals, titmice, nuthatches, juncos and tree sparrows) plus the "resident male" Eastern Towhee.
