I was excited to get this image yesterday. I saw this harrier catch a bird in the ditch ahead of me and then fly into the field and land close to the road. It let me drive up next to it while it was eating the prey. Suddenly a juv. bald eagle swooped in from nowhere, flushed the harrier and caused it to drop the bird. The eagle made a tight circle, grabbed the prey and flew off with it. The harrier circled the area a few times looking to see if anything was left behind and that is when I got this shot and several others.
Please click image for sharper uncompressed view, thanks. Canon 7D2, 600mm f4L IS II, ISO 640, f/8, 1/1600 sec, manual exposure, hand held from vehicle Bob Kothenbeutel
