Living in the US heartland, much of our prairie land has been lost to development. However, our remaining prairies can be a fun place to bird and enjoy wildflowers. In Part 1, I will share some of my recent prairie bird images that I have made this winter in several Missouri prairies.
The feature of Part 1 is the Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus). Where I live, we are just included in the “year round” range for this bird. However, whenever winter sets in, the number of Northern Harriers dramatically rises. Please enjoy our Northern Harriers, as they hunt our remaining prairies:
