Okay, I'm back. Had to take a time-out for a quick dinner ! And, thank you for the comments.

Fortunately, the Northern Harrier stayed put while I stopped out of the car, got my camera out and rested the camera and a 700mm lens across the top of the car. I was able to take quite a few shots.

During the past several weeks, we had a male Painted Bunting visiting a local feeder. This is, indeed, rare for Maryland. The resident was kind enough to alert the birding community of his visit. I made five visits, spent roughly 7-8 hours in the sometimes bitter cold and only saw him once. I had hoped to get a better photo but the lighting wasn't too good.
