I had a hard time deciding which modifying adjective to use in my title – flirtatious, demure, coy or alluring. With this pretty lady in this pose they all work for me.

The incredibly athletic twisting dives of Northern Harriers on prey are always impressive to witness (and difficult to photograph well) but when it’s an adult male, a “Gray Ghost”, for me at least it’s extra special.
It’s been two years since I’ve posted images of this species but yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA I had some luck with them (yes, the gate at Farmington is now open).
