    Congratulations James Salywoda for your image "Male Northern Harrier Grey Ghost" being chosen as the Avain IOTW for the week ending 9/24/2010!!!

    1. Northern Harrier
    Southern California

    Well I have to say this probably will be one of my top encounters as a photographer.
    I found a tree that a pair of Cooper Hawks use as a perch and was focusing on a Juvie Male waiting for it to take off. All of a sudden I see the male looking up so I took my eye off the lens to see what was happening. I couldn;t believe what was coming at me a male Harrier being chased by a Female Juvie Coopers talk about excitement I managed to only get a few shots of the Harrier as it was so close I clipped a few frames but managed this shot I was surely happy about the outcome.

    Nikon D300s AFS 600 F4
    1/4000 F5.6 ISO 800

    Thanks For Looking

    Jim

    Wow. Great reflexes to switch to the harrier. Love the detail in the feathers and that yellow eye.
