Nice photos,
and very interesting in bird ID.
White rump, barred tail and pale under wings fit more for Pied Harrier.
But the wing shape suggests Eastern Marsh Harrier.

Thanks Gary.

I'm still a learner in raptors especially Harrier.3551a50445

Beautiful pics! I think the wing shape is sharp at the tip and quite wide at the mid-secondaries, and the tail rather full and round but not angular, both favoring Marsh over Pied. Also, would the paleness suggest this being a male/ juvenile male?

Hi,

I think this is an Eastern Marsh Harrier as well.

It is very similar to one that was around last winter....(scroll down)

I'm appreciated to learn that it is an adult EMH. 3551873d93aa445
