ID for Babies?
« on: June 09, 2023, 02:51:43 PM »
Hey y’all! I was out scouting a potential archery deer spot on my way home from work Thursday and was crossing a field in some really tall thick grass. Nearly stepped right on these guys! As soon as I saw them I thought turkeys and snapped a pic and got away really fast. Maybe got 5-10 secs to assess the situation. Once I got home and looked at the picture I realized that they are some kind of hawk or other bird of prey. I do recall one gliding across the field fairly low, I just had no idea they ever made ground nests!

I think @nwwanderer is correct, Northern Harrier was formerly called the “marsh hawk.” Not the best photo but you get the idea.

I had no idea that any kind of raptor nested n the ground.

Sure seems like it would be hard for the babies to survive, but what do I know.

We have one of these guys working our field most days. Really cool to watch them as they hunt so low to the ground.
