I'm really looking forward to the autumn color in the weeks ahead, which also means there will be more harrier activity to observe in the months ahead here in northern Utah! Here is an image I processed earlier tonight from this past year...

1DIV @ 500mm
1/2500 f/7.1 iso400

Thanks for taking a look...

John

Hi John: Classic Harrier pose with the great backgrounds you guys get up there in Utah. Exposure looks great. Always tough to get any detail in the white rump patch.
