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.
