This is a March 1, 2017 sequence of three images depicting a Northern Harrier finishing off a garter snake, then lifting off to find its next meal.  Taken at the Ridgefield NWR in southwest Washington state.

[Because my website is old and inflexible, I have positioned the 3 images down the post about 3 pages worth so that the sidebar won’t cover up the images.  Please scroll down a few pages to view the three images of the Northern Harrier.  Thanks for working with me on this!  ]

Canon 5D Mark III, 1/1600, f4, ISO 1000, 500mm, 2:50 p.m.
