This photo and the next 4 are all non-releasable birds used in education programs at Sanders Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Center.
This one is a bit soft. Blue sky would be nice
Huge crop, ok shot.
Northern Harrier
The closest I've ever gotten to a Northern Harrier. The stuff in the air is snow along with some noise from the rather huge crop.
Cool thing about this shot is clouds came over the sun right when I shot this and it is in sequence with the others.
Same hawk, late afternoon, same spot as in the AM. This time nice light and he has scored dinner.
Sun would have been very nice with this shot.
