Last weekend I had a very large hawk dive/glide across my back yard at eye
level. It was aiming for something in the next year, but I did not see what it
was after. What I did see was a white patch on it rump. Without the white, I
would have said it was a Coopers, but it was big and the white patch makes me
thing Harrier. But it was not hunting like any harrier I have ever seen -
usually wafting along over grass lands looking for rodents in the grasses. It
clearly was diving at a shallow angle across the yard to nail something near
the ground in the next year.
It seemed bigger than the Coopers also. Has anyone else ever seen a Harrier
hunting in suburbia?
