This fellow was across the street from my house today, chasing Killdeer. At one point he dived right at me so CLOSE, That I heard the, "WHOOSH" of the wind through his wings. Northern Harriers have a unique marking that NO other hawk in North America has, a WHITE rump. It is a large brilliantly white patch of feathers on top of his body where the tail meets the body.
