Keeping Watch - Northern Harrier - Female

 The harriers were apparently nesting in this area this Summer. I wasn't aware of that fact until I spotted a perched female who, when spotting me flew, not away from me as I expected she would. but toward me while calling the whole time. The male was also in the area and responded in kind. I will have more on that in a later post. I watched the female also chase off Bald Eagles when they got too close to the nesting site.
