Shot from October-24-16. Here I had limited time to take this shot, because Pheasant hunters were in the distance behind me sweeping the grass fields, firing and I needed to get out of there before they get too close.
Luckily this female Northern Harrier didn't mind to do a little posing for me stretching her wings.

Pentax K-3 and SMC A 400mm f/5.6

1/640, ISO-1600, f/7.1

Lovely image Mako....................this is actually an immature bird. Females have streaky breasts while immature birds have the chestnut coloration you see here.
