Northern Harrier Nest

6 years 1 month ago #573249 by Paul-Rossi
Walking a marsh one morning I found this nest at a stage when the young birds could not leave.  In about 2 weeks they would be able to walk away from the nest into the nearby grasses and shrubs to hide.  The egg was unviable.

Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark II
ISO: 400
Aperture: f/9.0
Shutter speed: 1/25 sec

Nice photo. The little one may be in trouble, I think those Hawks prefer nuclear families (2 kids)......

Why so serious?

All 3 survived fine. The nest was about 2 miles from my home and these hawks stay around the nest site for a long time, so I could observe the youngsters grow and become independent.
