My wife and I took a two week camping birding trip to Eastern Oregon. From Ashland we stopped in Summer Lake, Malheur NWR, the Zumwalt Prairie, returning through Fort Rock, Cabin Lake and back to Summer Lake. We started on April 15, a little early for returning warblers and shorebirds in this part of the world though there were several migrants here and there. We did see nesting raptors, lots of ducks, and a goodly collection of passerines. I've posted pictures to three collections at mrtk.smugmug.com if you would like to see some of the photographically cooperative birds at these locations. Not all are what you would call artistic, but they reflect a little of what's around at the end of April. Here's a sample:

Top quality work! That flying owl is one of the best I have seen.

Thanks Mike, though a Harrier, not an owl. I see the resemblance. Here's a recent Great Gray Owl.

I could stop a bit and pay attention. Amend my comment to substitute harrier for owl (LOL).

Thanks very much JD. For me I find harriers are particularly photogenic partly because their coloration provides good contrast for focus to lock in on I think.
