A series of 4 images..Arriving

The story here is that a skunk was lumbering down a trail, and a harrier decided to see if the skunk was edible (was not). After the harrier took off the skunk (which did not pay attention to the harrier at all) finally realized that four photographers were aiming their big lenses at him. he stopped, turned off the trail, and flushed this bird. The series of four images is the bird landing, noticing us, and departing.
The Skunk/Harrier will be posted later...

Fall in the midwest includes migrating meadowlarks. This pair was enjoying the setting sun, making for a striking image.
