Dave sent this photo explaining, "Here's an interesting photo from Lumberton. It's some sort of Hawk I saw in the meadow in late January, 2011."
[March 10 note: see Miriam's comment explaining why she thinks it's a Northern Harrier. ]

This photo gives an opportunity to explain a couple of things about the blog. One - there's a place for comments below each post - to let us know what kind of a hawk this is, click below on the word "comments" and a dialogue box will open where you can write. Two - if you click on any photo in the blog it goes to a large version. So click the pic and the hawk will fill your screen. Use the back arrow to return to this page.
I think it is a Northern Harrier. They have been seen in the meadow this winter. I say that because it does not have the horizontal striping on the breast like a Copper or Sharp-shinned hawk.
