To photograph a Northern Harrier was one of my biggest dreams that eventually came true but not how I expected. A Juvenile Northern Harrier I met was perching on a pole in the worst location possible. There was a road with a heavy traffic behind him but I was happy to get these two photos and add them to my collection of raptors.
Harriers named for harrying prey, they have owl-like faces and detect prey by hearing.
Adult males are very different from juveniles. They were nicknamed "gray ghosts" for their beautiful white and grey plumage. Sadly, I have never seen the gray ghosts. Perhaps, someday if I have a pinch of luck I might see one.

preciosas aves y preciosas fotos Kaya, besos.
ReplyDeleteUnas fotos preciosas en las que el fondo desenfocado hace que el aguilucho tome todo el protagonismo. En ese poste parece que estuviera posando para ti.
