One of our winter raptor residents was spotted at Stateline Woods Preserve over the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled if you have found yourself with a few days off and are going to be out hiking. The Northern Harrier is one of my favorite winter raptors (maybe because it was one that I first learned to identify) The white stripe at the base of the tail and the unique hunting pattern of soaring low along the fields are its easily identifying features.
Sadly, I was only armed with my cell phone, so I only managed this
shot of the hay field--if you find yourself with a better photo of the Northern Harrier at one of TLC's Preserves, please send it our way!
Happy Holidays to all from TLC!
