Here is an immature Northern Harrier I photographed today at Hawk Ridge. The Northern Harriers are so beautiful and unique, especially when you see them up close! This is one of my personal favorite shots I've taken so far this fall... http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/138023919 <http://www.pbase.com/image/138023919> Below are photos taken with the more basic point-and-shoot, of an adult and juvenile Northern Harrier next to each other, as well as a close up of the gray ghost (adult male). It was so cool to see them up close! http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/137954989 http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/137954987 Ruby-throated Hummingbird at the ridge: http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/138023920 A recent front has forced through the area, and strong west & northwest winds are expected over the next few days... just in time for the Broad-winged Hawks' big push through Hawk Ridge.
