Easy for you to get to Arash, only about 25 min. Harriers, Short Eared Owls, Long Eared Owls, Barn Owls... all in the same field. GO GO GO!

Excellent shot Conrad! Great sharpness, pose, and BG. Whites are nicely controlled. You've been getting some great shots lately!

Many thanks Doug! Its been a good winter migration over here in San Francisco Bay. Lots of opportunities! The new 600 and 1DX doesn't hurt either LOL :D

Gorgeous light for a terrific banking pose. Lovely green BG. Nice head turn toward the viewer. Does the harrier have a little something hanging from his beak...maybe a little left over?
