Northern Harrier

Milldale, Virginia

Without setting up a blind, I find getting close to Northern Harriers almost impossible. They are, however, one of my favorite raptors.
This female had something pinned to the ground which allowed me to get a 50X image which I cropped close to a 1:1 pixel display.
Best viewed in 'original' size.

Leica X2 on Televid 82mm Spotting Scope,Elmarit 24 mm f/2.8 ASPH
0.3s f/2.8 at 24.0mm iso200

Nice shot with the digiscoping, it came out tack sharp.

A harrier well-placed in harrier habitat; I like it.
