As I have mentioned, we take regular rides north to Parker River Wildlife Refuge and Salisbury State Reservation. We are seeking interesting animals, birds or scenery. This time all we were able to capture relatively close was this Northern Harrier hawk on the hunt. These hawks are nortoriously unpredictable and swift flyers. Sometimes they pause to watch the ground for prey as you see here. This time it decided not to swoop down and instead change direction and continue hunting away from its observers. They are quite striking though.
