    I'd say a harrier as well. The overall body, wing and head shape make me think harrier. I haven't seen one yet in Texas this season. They must be around though.

    Nice captures Dave! I believe it is an immature Northern Harrier, or possibly a female.

    Hi Dave, Definitely a Harrier and not only will they surprise you when you're not looking but they will sneak up behind you too.. rolleyes1.gif
