Hungry harrier hawk in Oregon

An adult male northern harrier hawk hunts in an open field near Elkton in southwestern Oregon.  Northern Harriers are the most owl-like of hawks (though they’re not related to owls). They rely on hearing as well as vision to capture prey.  According to the National Audubon Society, the northern harrier has disappeared from many former nesting areas, especially in southern parts of range, and surveys suggest that it is still declining in parts of North America.
