I'd stopped at the lower Waterworks Park in Lakemore to be at someplace quiet to read and eat lunch this afternoon. I'd heard what I at first thought was a hawk, but realized the call was somewhat different. Looking out my window, I saw what I later identified as a Northern Harrier hunting over the ball field. S/he soared and turned below treetop height over the field, calling. After a few minutes, he gained some altitude to treetop height, then higher, and soared out of sight. I did not expect that. I was trying to figure out what raptor was so pale as to be white underneath, with no barring, and black wingtips. Lovely.
