The other side of the Northern Harrier

instead of the belly shot. Different day than the other pic, and at sunset.

Good shot but your last one was best.....

Thanks Jeff! It's funny, but when I was out today I got almost the exact same shot. Darned Harriers are a bunch of exhibitionists!

Keep posting shots like this....

Very nice catches!

Nice shot, I like the backlit wing on this one.

Thanks everybody! This Harrier was young and learning to hunt. Comically clumsy. He was flying along a ridge I was on and he was suddenly in flight 10 feet in front of me. I hurried off the shots and got a few.

Not sure who was more surprised, him or I!

Nice. I'm with Kirk. I like the backlighting on the wing feathers.
