You often see Northern Harriers swooping over the marshes and capturing small birds like sparrows, but they also prey on larger birds. Here is one that captured a Coot at the Viera Wetlands. Not much left but feathers......

    Great shot! What a coincidence! I came here to post my photos of a Norther Harrier I took today, and your Northern Harrier thread was the first one up on the wildlife forum screen.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
