We’ve seen this Northern Harrier many times at Fort Hill searching for food. The diet of this large hawk consists of  rodents, reptiles, insects, frogs and birds, including water birds, so this environment fits them well being so close to the woods, meadows and water.

I have learned to identify them by the wide white stripe on their tail when they are flying. Have you seen the Northern Harrier at Fort Hill?
