Among several interesting hawks I have seen in the Canon City area in the past week is this juvenile Northern Harrier. With it's dark head, neck feathers and the pronounced facial disc, it is quite distinctive.
The broad bars on it's tail stand out in all pics though the narrow white terminal band can be see best in the bottom pic.
I was happy to get these pics of this high flying harrier as it is difficult to get photos of their underparts since they usually fly close to the ground. Actually it is somewhat unusual to see this species in the Canon City area. SeEtta
