A male Northern Harrier glides low over a field of golden grass, its silver-gray wings raised mid-beat and its black wingtips spread like fingers. Its yellow eye stays fixed on the ground below as it hunts by sight and sound, the way harriers do. The pale plumage stands out sharply against the warm, blurred backdrop of dry meadow, and a few frosty seed heads at the bottom of the frame mark the grassland it patrols.
