This is a male Northern Harrier parsing the fields at Wilder Ranch near Santa Cruz, California. Wilder Ranch has one of the most beautiful walks in the world, a two-kilometer path along scenic cliffs of Monterey Bay. Seabirds can be found on the shores, while hawks, harriers and songbirds can be found in the fields. One of my favorite places in the world. This harrier’s eyes were an amazing yellow colour. I caught him glancing at me as he zoomed through the branches of a tree.
