I arrived in the early morning at the refuge and saw a dramatic display of clouds over the marshes.
In winter it is quite common to see juvenile raptors at the refuge. Last week I saw two kinds and got the following shots.

I really enjoyed these fantastic photos, Hien. The clouds were indeed dramatic, and nice knowing that that’s Atlantic City. And the juvenile raptors were a super treat.

Thank you, Jet! Since I live two hours from the refuge, it’s not very often that I get there early enough to catch the sunrise. But on that day the clouds made up for that.

The clouds look so sculptural and three-dimensional! Great close-ups of the raptors, too!

Those clouds were dramatic, but did not bring either rain or snow to us. Maybe to somewhere else out in the ocean.
