The following 19 Northern Harrier images were taken on November 3, 2007. Harrier "A" was the initial agressor who landed next to Harrier "B". The two birds lowered their heads, circled each other 180 degrees, and then separated. Harrier "A" (who I photographed) walked away, all the while with head lowered.
