They call the male Norther harrier The Grey Ghost because he's so illusive. Now you see him, now you don't. I was later than I wanted to be getting out to the park, but as soon as I pulled my car off I saw this guy. He let me chase him for the better part of thirty-minutes, after weeks of either not seeing or just getting a fleeting glance. Harriers don't perch and hunt, like most raptors, instead, they fly low across a lot of ground swooping back and forth and sometimes hovering when they suspect that prey is underneath them. You can follow a little on foot, but I find that jumping in and out of my car is the only way to cover as much ground as needed.
