 Bosque del Apache Dec. 04 While shooting at the farm fields one afternoon, a friend I was shooting with yelled to me,"Harrier!" I looked over to see this female gliding along below me in the ditch between the road and the corn fields. When it reached my position since I was standing close to the edge of the ditch, it looked up and saw me and shot straight up out of the ditch and rolled over to fly south over the road. I got three images and this is the only one in focus, the last one. The bird was in the upper right hand corner of the image but the wings were all there so I added some canvas and painted in some blue sky. I just happen to have my flight shooting lens in my hand, set to manual mode at sunny f/16 and -1/3 for Snow Geese. I was very lucky. This is the only image I have of a Harrier in flight and it all happened in about 10 seconds. N90s, Tamron 200-400 at 400mm, f/5.6, 1/1000, handheld, Provia 100F Mike Wilson

I'm still waiting for a flying Harrier shot at less than 500 yards.
