You sure caught the attack on the Harrier over top a beautiful part of the marsh. I agree with Heather, gotta feel sorry for the Harrier.

Thank you Debra. I'd say he usualy hunt over open field and bushes (like owls). The marsh offers a lot more but the hunting is more dangerous. Such is life.

Heather Mellon

Gorgeous tones and detail here, Yves. They're such beautiful birds.

Description
The northern harrier was under attack (non-stop) by three kingbirds. I am quite sure he got few beak shots on the head. He tried to get rid of the kingbirds for a minute but he was no match for them.
