Karen Wilkinson spotted this Northern Harrier flying over meadows at The Sea Ranch. In the first photo the hawk seems to looking right at Karen!

Northern Harriers are slim, long-tailed hawks. They use their vision and their hearing to find prey. They have owl-like faces and the stiff feathers on their faces help direct sound to their ears. Amazing! Their calls sound like "kek, kek, kek" and you can listen for yourself at this link at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Harrier/sounds

Thanks to Karen for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
