Harrier ordered to taxi and hold

With the Denver International Airport tower in the background, it appeared this female Northern ??Harrier? and been ordered to delay take off. While she was waiting for clearance to take off on Saturday, I was able to snap this image of her.

Staying true to her species, she didn’t wait long though and soon took to the air being sure to take a flight path that prevented me from getting any decent pics of her. I love these hawks but my goodness they can be frustrating to get quality pictures of. They are quite skittish, always on the move and always low to the ground making focusing difficult.
