Juvenile Northern Harrier
I photographed this Juvenile Northern Harrier after it made the American Kestrel (American Kestrel With Wings Spread) I posted about leave its perch. The American Kestrel came back and made this Northern Harrier leave the perch. This all took place within seconds. I had little time to get photos of the Harrier.
To get this photograph, I had to raise my camera and lens off of the bean bag I had draped over the window of my pickup. This was because of the brush I had in front of me. I used the upper door frame to hold my camera steady.
