It isn’t too often that you find these #hawks sitting still but I got lucky and found this female sitting on a post. Normally when you see a harrier they are flying 5 to 15 feet above the ground with their head looking down focused on hunting for its next prey. You can view some more pics of these raptors from the day I took this image here.
