Just spotted this #northernharrier hunting in the field across from my house. Third year in a row I've seen It/another like it stalking #voles here at this time of year. #birds #hawks

Feeling harried.
This is a northern harrier. I took this photograph a couple months ago at Holly Beach, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico.
This isn't a great photo, especially cropped as far in as is this one. But you can get a pretty look at the bird even if it doesn't have the detail and texture a better photo would show.
"The Northern Harrier is distinctive from a long distance away: a slim, long-tailed hawk gliding low over a marsh or grassland, holding its wings in a V-shape and sporting a white patch at the base of its tail. Up close it has an owlish face that helps it hear mice and voles beneath the vegetation. Each gray-and-white male may mate with several females, which are larger and brown. These unusual raptors have a broad distribution across North America." - allaboutbirds.org

At certain times of year at least, it's almost inevitable you'll see a northern harrier at Shirley Chisholm State Park in Brooklyn. #birdphotography #naturephotography #birdpics #naturephotographer #nybirding #cutebirds #photographersofmastodon #northernharrier #brooklynbirding

The highlight on today’s #GreatBackyardBirdCount was probably the male #NorthernHarrier (aka gray host). But my picture was terrible so here is today’s #YellowBelliedSapsucker instead.

@Swede1952 I have a nesting pair of Northern Harriers on my farm. I do what I can to protect their habitat. They are ground nesting so large areas if land need to be put aside. Here's a pic of one that was following me around in my walnut orchard.

Northern Harrier
This bird was at Holly Beach, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico. It was very far away, I used cropping to get an up-close view, so the photo is lacking some detail.
"The Northern Harrier is distinctive from a long distance away: a slim, long-tailed hawk gliding low over a marsh or grassland, holding its wings in a V-shape and sporting a white patch at the base of its tail. Up close it has an owlish face that helps it hear mice and voles beneath the vegetation. Each gray-and-white male may mate with several females, which are larger and brown.

Saw four harriers hunting in this field today. They were looping above the trail over and over again. Must have been lots of good snacks out today with the few hours of sun we got. At one point 2 of them were just sitting on the ground hanging out. Couldn’t tell if they got anything or not. The lighting was a little tough since I was shooting into the sun for a lot of it but I think this one turned out cool. #birds #BirdPhotography #NorthernHarrier

Usually, northern harriers are pretty elusive & they fly so fast! This one was a younger one, so it hadn't learned that yet.😜 It sat on a tree, allowing my BF & I to take numerous photos, along with another photographer. Of course we were waiting for the flight shot & he did not disappoint.🙂 #harrier #northernharrier #bird #birds #birdphotography #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #nature #flight #wings #MA #massachusetts #ParkerRiver

Random #northernharrier shows up near the beach. A nice runner-up prize when you don't find the owl you were hoping to see. #nybirding #longislandbirding #birdphotography #nature
