This is an image of a female Northern Harrier. They are one of the prettiest raptors in my opinion. The are kinda a mix of a hawk and an owl. Harriers have a disk like an owl that help them hear, but they are more shaped like a hawk. The species primarily hunt in open feilds. The uniqueness of the northern harrier is the main reason why it is in my top ten list of birds.Artist Statement
The reason why I love taking photographs is because photos can freeze time. Photos are the closes things we have to an actual time machine. By looking at a photo we can take a glimpse of the past. Photos can take us all the way back to the civil war. They can make us remember how cute our children were or funny story at a party. Photos tell a story no matter how simple it is. I take photos to tell a story to other people.
