Northern Harrier hen

[Jose Raposo]

Had a chance to photograph a Northern Harrier hen in very close proximity, for some odd reason she landed approx within 20ft of where I was standing and I was able to sit down and spend approximately 20 minutes with her before she flew off, pretty amazing experience.

I photographed her a few months later chowing down on some carrion, spent quite a bit of time with her again while she gorged,

Really nice stuff! Especially like the BIF shot and the last one.

Nice set. It is always amazing when wildlife chooses to share space with us.
