    Northern Harrier
    Southern, California

    One of the more common birds of prey here at the wetlands during the winter. This was my first up close shot for
    this season. Conditions are windy and this Harrier glided towards me and started flapping its wings just at the right time ....:)

    Thanks For Looking
    Jim

    Just fantastic Jim. The light and feathers with that head turn and eye contact are superb.
