Northern Harrier sweeps marsh for prey
Lens: DA 55-300 Camera: K20D Photo Location: Green Cay, Palm Beach Co, Fl ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/1000s Aperture: F8

I posted a picture from this series (got 15 images in total using continuous shooting) a few days ago with the Northern Harrier hovering over the marsh. This picture was taken as the Northern Harrier swept in to survey the marsh, looking for a meal.

Great image! They say that there are Harriers that hunt over a Bog walk SWMBO and I go to but I rarely see any birds at all. Never a chance for a great shot like this one.
