To say these hawks are elusive would be an extreme understatement. Whether male or female, Northern #Harriers rarely allow you to get close and their erratic, low flight patterns make getting a decent picture difficult.
The males, seen here, are probably the hardest of the two and are quick to avoid people and pictures – hence its nickname, the Gray Ghost. Yesterday I was lucky enough to come across one north of Denver International Airport that gave me a few nice captures as it flew by.
