Female Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus)

Hunts by flying at low speeds just above low growing vegetation.
Uses the element of surprise attack, flying in zigzag patterns.
The Northern Harrier is the only hawk able to locate prey using only acoustic clues.

  6. Great pictures, Dominique. It is not easy to capture a female harrier in flight against that kind of background.
