    Default Northern Harrier In Flight

    This has been a challenge for me to capture this bird in the right light to show off his beautiful plumage. They tend to fly very low making it difficult to capture them in a clear , clean setting. tonight I had one of my first opportunities. and the sun was setting which added to the beautiful coloring of this species.

    Great flight capture! I like the lighting and the hunters stare down. Well done Judy!

    Love the way the sun has lit up the underpinnings here. These birds are not easy to capture. Spent days trying to capture these raptors in Bosque. They were everywhere, but difficult to capture in the right light at the right angle. Would have liked to see a better angle here, but you're off to a great start.

    Good job getting the harrier with a 300 lens! and very sharp, love the light and details. See minor grain in the BG which is easy to fix. TFS

    Judy, Nice job capturing it in the clearing. I like the trees and soft blue BG . Details and sharpness look good.
