Northern Harrier
St. Marks NWR

These wonderful raptors can be somewhat easily identified by their long tail, white rump and their tendency to fly relatively low in the air as they hunt for food. The first three photos were found at St. Marks NWR on the gulf coast, while the latter two were found at Viera Wetlands.
