Harrier at dawn - a photo on Flickriver

Harrier at dawn

            This was more exciting in real life as a Ringtail Harrier flapped past me on silent wings just before sunrise.  Ringtail is not a species, but describes the females and youngsters of several species where they differ from adult males in having brown plumage with a white rump and dark rings on the tail.  You can see the white rump here but there is some confusion as to whether it was the dark rings or the white rump that gave rise to the name Ringtail.  Anyway, this is a Northern Harrier photographed at Boundary Bay on the border between Canada and the USA.  Until recently this was considered a race of Hen Harrier but now it is considered a different species they are being found with increasing frequency in the UK, presumably having crossed the Atlantic.
