drop the damn mouse !! 20140410_6659
The courtship of the Northern Harriers continues over an extended period of time with many aerial shows between the male and female. The male captures a prey item and then the chase is on. The female is in pursuit waiting to catch the prey when the male finally drops it. Sometimes the female seems gets quite upset with the waiting. After many hours of watching this pair last April, I got some photos of the flight.
