Nothern Harrier, Male

I decided that I like this shot much better. This is the 3rd breeding season I have shot this bird. He recognizes me and allows me to approach far closer than anyone else, even though he has not been here since last summer. He gets tired supporting multiple families, and becomes less skittish.

Super shot Hal. Like Tom, I haven't been able to get very close to the Harriers either.

Another terrific harrier image, Hal! Like I said I can't seem to get close to perched birds.
