Number 1 is great, this motivates me to attempt some harrier BIFs at Quivira NWR since when no other birds are around during the afternoon hours it seems this time of year (out feeding and whatnot), there are always 4 or 5 harriers flying about the dried up marshes.
Thanks Storm. #1 was a lucky shot and made my day!

Very nice. Is that in Lousiana? Are they common in many areas or are they a rare sighting?
Hi Michmich,
Yes, the picture was taken in Lousiana. In winter hen Harriers are common but they far outnumber the males.
Why do we typically see more males than females in South Louisiana? The general thinking is that most adult males winter farther north, thus we see relatively few down here.
