Photos taken from Peters Mountain at the Appalachian Trail
D700 Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 D AF ED
1/60 f22 M 250 135mm
It amazes me how green things are here this time of year, then we do get good rain this year. I had to check the photos against scenery, and it is that green.

Weather has been pretty wet here for the last month or so with just a few days of sun. I haven't been taking any photos worth posting here until a couple days ago when the sun finally came out long enough to go take a few photos of these Rough-legged Hawk chicks.
A few weeks ago there were two chicks in the nest. A Crested Auklet is the menu for the chick.
D500 w/Tamron 150-600 G2, F10, 1/500. ISO 280
4 of 5 chicks left from this nest. 5 chicks is the most I've ever seen in one nest but, this is the first time I came upon this one. The other nest usually had 2 at the most.
