Northern Harriers

one of the disappointing things about the BC trip was not getting any decent close views or images of Northern Harriers; on the last morning there were 2-3 juvs over the saltmarsh but they were always distant and the heat haze latterly made it impossible to get anything sharp -- note the rather obvious variation from the juv male to what are presumably juv females -- truly poor images but for raptor holics all reference material is useful
