Watch fields and wetlands for a hawk-like
predator flying near the ground with its wings
held up in a glide position. Feeds on mice, frogs,
voles and other small prey items.
Back view: This female Harrier has typical
colorings of brown above, white below with heavy
streaking. Note the white patch of feathers on
rump. This field mark is easily visible at great
distances in both sexes, especially while in
flight. Males are pale gray above, mostly white
below, with black wing tips and white rump
patch.
