Patrolling low over a snow-covered field, this female Harrier saw something of interest. In a heartbeat she dropped to the ground, landing right on its prey. I’m not sure what is captured, likely a vole or mouse although I couldn’t see any sort of tail. It was kind of fun to witness, even if a good ways off in the field.
