help w/id?
It's a harrier, also known as a marsh hawk. Female. For ID, look for a white patch visible on both sexes at the base of the tail. You can see it a little better in your second shot. The male will be a pale gray bird.
Nice shots, by the way; all of 'em. Be careful with the great horned owls, especially photographing their owlets. The birds are well known for aggressively defending their brood. You have an active nest going on! Here in Minnesota, great horned owls will soon be starting their nesting season, probably by early February.
this morning shortly after sunrise, owl presents nice catch to mate...
Your persistence pays off again! What kind of critter is that? The skinny tail makes me wonder.
from yesterday morning, the hawk that the owl chased out of its nest, continued to buzz the tree and protest!
The owl is more powerful than the hawk?
