Gray Ghost
We had a spectacular evening this past Sunday as far as raptors in just a couple hours. We noticed this male Harrier combing the area repeatedly. It landed a couple times and just sat on the ground for minutes. We approached slowly both times hoping he had some prey. Both times he came up empty. He was successful on his third try but the light was gone by then. The fog had eclipsed our lighting. He provided great views and we took advantage it. I removed the golden cast in this shot. It was taken an hour before sunset. I will be posting more flight shots later. I'm backed up with photos and busy with daily obligations at the moment. Hope you enjoy it!
