This Northern Harrier was soaring over the fields and trees that I was near. It was so beautiful to watch how easily it would fly.

I was able to see the "Gray Ghost" quite a bit but never managed to get the right lighting or a close shot but it is such a beautiful bird I had to save a shot in case I don't get another one!

I was fascinated by the hillside’s reflection in the water on the lake when this guy appeared (as if from nowhere) making me raise my lens, giving me a quick showing before he flew off. Santa Margarita Lake.

As I was exploring Las Gallinas I noticed this Northern Harrier down the path from me standing on a sign. As I made my way toward it with the usual stop, shoot, wait and scurry approach, it entertained me with a variety of poses as if a member of the 'performing arts'...this is probably my favorite pose of all!

This male harrier was shot in the wild.... non zoo, non baited, non raptor show!

 

On the far right is the 'down arrow'- click on that to open 'original' size... click 'open' on original size and then hit F11 on keyboard for full screen effect...

I went out in the coldest day thus far, clear and sunny and very few fools outdoors. as luck will have it, The Gray Ghost flew right towards me... fumbled with gloves and frozen fingers but did get a few usable images. 2017 is shaping up as a Harrier year.

It was great to see everyone today and I do mean everyone, WOW. There were so many photographers here today, The who's who of the area. Lots of fun and wind. The day started off real slow, then the sun came out and all heck broke out.

This is a big crop so not the best of images.

"Grey Ghost" is the name given to the male Northern harrier. This one is on a low perch at Cherry Creek State Park, near the East gate.

The Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus) also known as the Hen Harrier is a bird of prey. It breeds throughout the northern parts of the northern hemisphere in Canada and the northernmost USA, and in northern Eurasia. This species is polytypic, with two subspecies. Marsh Hawk is a historical name for the American form.

 

It migrates to more southerly areas in winter. Eurasian birds move to southern Europe and southern temperate Asia, and American breeders to the southernmost USA, Mexico, and Central America. In the mildest regions, such as France, Great Britain, and the southern US, Northern Harrier may be present all year, but the higher ground is largely deserted in winter.

 

Harriers have an owl-like face. The concave facial disk and relatively large off-set ears enable the bird to use triangulation of sound to help locate prey such as mice, voles, juvenile rabbits, frogs, pheasant chick, and other birds in dense vegetation. The female Harrier is larger than the male; hence, the female takes larger prey than the male.

I thought i'd update my Grey Ghost. The goggles are 'borrowed' from GunnBuilding's customs.

Simon Trent was an actor who played the role of the superhero The Gray Ghost. After the series was cancelled, he failed to get a job anywhere else, he was remembered only for The Gray Ghost.

 

I'd love to hear what you think.

The male harrier is also known as the gray ghost. He popped up right in front of us and then just that quickly disappeared.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The ever elusive "Gray Ghost" gave me a nice look, back on the sod farms of Wallkill NJ.

This handsome "gray ghost" northern harrier was perched on this post and literally was so satisfied with his recently consumed prey, which he devoured, that he just sat for his photo session. LOL

 

My friends all know that I will stop for most northern harrier sightings ... close up or far away ... to photograph or simply admire their grace and beauty in flight. When I saw this guy finish up his meal, I hoped he would stay for a bit. He did ... and then some. It was a happy day for me. I mean ... he had me with those yellow eyes. ;-)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by to view. Happy Tuesday!
