Terrific focus and detail Yves. Love the implied action of the Harrier’sposture. Very nice.

I love that one too Debra.

Great shot of him hovering over the grass, Yves. You captured very nice detail of his markings and face too.. so well done.

Thank you very much Heather. I love the wingspan on that shot and the eyes focus analysing the ground.

Description
I had a great opportunity to photo shoot a northern harrier hunting for preys at my favorite marsh. Out of a 5 minutes shooting here is a sequence of three where the guy comes in over the ground to spot any available food.
