Saturday morning I headed down to Grand Pre for a little raptor watching. T=
he white red-tail was at the Hortonville exit; I actually spotted him from =
the highway. He wasn't very cooperative for photos though. On Grand Pre its=
elf I saw a pair of redtails, six eagles and a northern harrier. I also had=
 great looks at a pair of foxes running around on fields immediately beside=
 West Long Island Road. They were barking and chasing each other by turns, =
and came fairly close to the road, so I got some decent pictures. When I ma=
neuvered the car along the shoulder to avoid some branches that were blocki=
ng my view, a mockingbird (I assume the one that's been seen there all wint=
er) popped up in the bushes beside me. No sign of the cranes anywhere.=0A=
