Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
Photographed in Reno, Nevada 1219
Formerly known as the Marsh Hawk, the Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus) is a slender, medium-sized raptor with a long, barred tail and distinctive white rump. It has an owl-like facial disk that is visible at close range. Harriers are unusual in that there is a greater difference between male and female plumage than is typical of raptors. Females are brown above with varying degrees of brown and buff streaking below. Males are gray above with an unmarked lighter color below. Juveniles are brown above and plain orange-brown below. Northern Harriers fly low over the ground when hunting, weaving back and forth over fields and marshes as they watch and listen for small animals. They eat on the ground, and they perch on low posts or trees. On the breeding grounds, males perform elaborate flying barrel rolls to court females.
