I'd say a harrier as well. The overall body, wing and head shape make me think harrier. I haven't seen one yet in Texas this season. They must be around though.

Yeah, they seem to time it just when we're distracted by the TV on the camera:cry :D
Good results Dave in spite of difficult lighting:thumb

Nice captures Dave! I believe it is an immature Northern Harrier, or possibly a female.

Hi Dave, Definitely a Harrier and not only will they surprise you when you're not looking but they will sneak up behind you too.. :rofl
