Harrier? Langley, BC

[tuchp]

Hi everyone,

Am I correct with my ID that this is a Harrier? It was circling over our fields this morning - it appeared large and had black wing tips and white rump patch.

I am counting the birds around our yard and farm today for the 'Great Backyard Bird Count' and would like to include it on my list. I would appreciate any help to confirm my ID - thank-you in advance.

Good to see others doing the Backyard Count as well!! Im looking forward to going out tomorrow to do some more.

Kathy, great to see Kathy's Korner up and running smoothly. Added it to my bookmarks for my 'rounds' of sites I look at when I have a chance to sit down.

Thank-you both! Yes, we enjoy the Great Backyard Bird Count - especially since our young grandkids join in. We print off the 'Participation Certificate' for them - they love it!!
