Northern harrier on the hunt

One of my favorite raptors and an image from nine months ago that I haven’t shared before. I have started working on end of year photo projects and came across this gem.

It was a chilly, crisp morning when I spotted the female harrier patrolling a field. Normally they aren’t too cooperative but this one proved to be an exception. She gave me tons of pictures as she was intent on confining her hunt to a relatively small area.

I managed captures of multiple flybys and a bunch of her posing when she would take breaks between flights.
