Have attached a few low-res images of a juvenile Northern Harrier, photographed last Sunday. Was fortunate to collect head-on images as well as dorsal and ventral views of him swooping. Was fortunate to catch him at nearly every angle and thought they might be of interest..

These are some of the best "listening" poses imaginable Ty.  Thanks for sharing.
