20110603 678 SERIES - Northern Harrier2.jpg

QUICK TURNS

Two sets of two consecutive images of the Harrier making a quick turn in our direction. Actually the Harrier paid us scant attention. It appeared to be hunting for something in the area were we were positioned; however, it was constantly being harassed and dive-bombed by Red-winged Blackbirds. It kept being driven off, only to return a few minutes later.

Head-on.
