I got this image last week not far from my home. There are many more male harriers around than usual this year (breaks my heart!).

Please click image for uncompressed view, thanks.

A real beauty, Bob. Great background with a bit of habitat at the bottom, and excellent flight pose with the fanned tail. The detail in large view is excellent.. Top notch image.

Wonderful flight pose and love the background! Here on the east coast I've also noticed more males than usual this year.

Great wing pose on this bird Bob! I like the clear BG and some grass in front. I like the colors on males much better, such a beauty.
