This wing is all that’s left after some predator had its meal. Looking closer, I was struck by its beauty. I am often speechless in the presence of the ordinary. It would have been impossible to get this close while the bird was alive. The marsh was relatively tame today. A Harrier passed overhead on its way to the Winthrop shore. The Green-winged Teal was still paddling about but except for the gulls and the crows, not much was about. The Oasis had a few Buffleheads, Mallards and Black Ducks but again no standouts. Spring is slow in coming here to Belle Isle.

Ciao!
