<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">Distant male Northern Harrier I
just saw from our yard fit that description, including the lack of markings
with my first views. After a few seconds I got good views and the markings
became evident.<br>
I'd spotted it as I was watching a Turkey Vulture thermalling and gliding,
working its way southward. I'd kept watching the TUVU for a few minutes,
hoping some other birds would join it. The harrier was my reward.</p>

Hiking Burroughs trail by Sunrise yesterday afternoon, I was watching
several ravens and a red-tailed hawk high over the bare hills when I got a
frustratingly brief look at a bird joining them - soaring, lazily chased by
ravens, made a twisty dodging maneuver
and disappeared from my binoc view. Quite pale (I saw all underside,
maybe a bit of upper wing), but not bright white, maybe cream/beige,
slender build, smaller than the redtail, maybe smaller than the
ravens. It made me think of something like a prairie
falcon, but I didn't see any dark markings. Any guesses?
Thanks!</div>
