Hawk in the Lumberton Meadow

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. ]

Sitting like Snoopy 
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.

  1. 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.
