What

Northern Harrier (Circus hudsonius)

Description

Northern Harrier being dive-bombed coming towards me this time. I don't know if the previous observation flying away was the same as this hawk flying towards me, it seemed to be too quick. This larger bird seems to be holding or carrying something. Could it be that the prey for a Northern Harrier is a red wing blackbird, and that's why they are dive bombing this hawk?
