    While looking for Snow Geese today I came across this hunting Harrier, I wish I could have got him coming instead of going...but couldn't pull the car over fast enough....tighter crop would help but to noisy....

    Hi there,

    This is a nice habitat image. The good news is that the Harrier is looking your way. You did the best with the situation.

    Great job getting eye contact and I agree with Maxis (like the environment in this one).

    Paul great head angle on this bird. I don't knwo how many times I've missed harrier shots because I was driving too quickly or they flew across my field of view with no time to react. You did well under the circumstances.

    Nice HA and habitat. What kind of Harrier is this? Looks like a very nice species.
