got this male harrier hunting this afternoon up along Eide Road... he flew by into the sun, giving me some nice looks, then flew back with supper after a successful hunt... 7D, 400mm, 1/2500 @ f/6.3

Female harriers outnumber males about 4:1. You were fortunate to find a male and get such goods shots of it.
 


Sunday (2/8/15) my son and I visited Eide Road after his Special Olympics regional basketball tournament in Stanwood was over.

I got some distance shots of a female harrier with photographers in the foreground and background.

Rocky's male northern harrier flew close and provided some spectral images in the low light of the overcast afternoon.

The gray of the male fits in nicely with the sky and clouds.

The harriers and owls I photographed Sunday afternoon all came up empty. I hope they had better success after I left or it was going to be a long, cold, hungry night. :(
