Terrific clarity and focus on the Harrier. Great series Yves it really shows off the life of the Harrier nicely

Thank you very much Debra. It's been an exciting moment.

Beautiful image and series, Yves. These hawks are common to my region too and I've enjoyed getting some close-up views that reveal their true beauty.

Thank you Heather. I was lucky that the camera was already set on burst 1/2000 sec.. I was on a higher ground with a down view on a large section of the marsh so it was perfect to chase the moving bird with a clear view.

Description
This Northern harrier has tried to find someting to eat for several minutes at ma favorite marsh. He had few opportunities but never concluded. He took to much time and he is been spotted by three kingbirds that won't let him go further. Time is running out.
