A few days after our big snowfall event I ventured out to Mormon Lake in search of interesting photographs. Upon arrival, I was treated to several hawks and ravens drifting on the wind directly over the Mormon Lake Overlook. Switching from the landscape settings to something more useful for capturing birds in flight (BIF) took a few minutes to get right.

I managed to catch one good image of this hawk up close and one image of a couple riding the updrafts. I also got few good images of a pair of ravens (or maybe crows???).

There were captured with a Nikon D750 and the Nikon AF-P 70-300mm zoom lens.

One the way home, we spotted these folks out on Upper Lake Mary doing some ice fishing and just hanging out on a fine day.
