Driving the causeway to Antelope Island at the Great Salt Lake in Utah produced this Harrier hunting the shoreline. It was a pretty cool close encounter, and our first for the day!
Great shots of the harrier! I watched one do his sweeping/backflip display yesterday- SO cool! Nice flight shots! (speaking of - yes! I am still using the Sigma 500...however i hear that they are coming out with an image stabilized lens...)
One of my favorite birds Hannibal. All the years I had them up north and never got a close up picture. I did see one here not long ago but they arent as common for me, now that I'm in the woods.

Great photos, it looks like it was another productive trip for you.
A nice encounter for a great picture... I love the second one! Have a nice week end.
Good shots! He really stands out against the snowy background in the second one.
Very nice photo. Beautiful tail markings.
I have to admit,right now I am jealous.To get a Harrier shot like these is unbelievable.Maybe some day my turn will come.Great work!

Awesome, I really like the first photo, what a gorgeous bird! Raptors in flight make for great photo ops :)

I love their dish shaped face! It's great to see a shot of an adult this close.
