Agree with Heather nice angle to see him gliding so close to the ground.

Yves Langlois

Thanks Debra. I love that shot too for the same reason.

Heather Mellon

Beautiful view of him gliding across the marsh. He was wise to leave that kind of attack since the Kingbirds can be relentless.

Yves Langlois

Thank you for the much appreciated comments Heather.

Description
After being under attack by three kingbirds the northern harrier decided to quit to avoid being badly injured with a broken eye or worst.
