A harrier is a raptor known for its unique hunting behavior and distinctive flight style. These medium-sized birds of prey have long, narrow wings and slender bodies, allowing them to glide effortlessly and maneuver low over the ground. Harriers typically have a mix of brown, gray, and white feathers, with males often displaying a striking pattern of pale gray and black. They are known for their distinctive facial disk, which aids in sound detection while hunting. Harriers have a specialized hunting technique called "quartering," where they fly low over open fields, marshes, or grasslands, scanning the ground for prey. They rely on their keen vision and hearing to locate small mammals, birds, and even reptiles, which they catch by swooping down. Harriers are often found in open habitats, such as wetlands and grassy plains, where they can easily spot their prey. Their graceful flight and hunting prowess make them a captivating sight in nature.
