The Northern Harrier is a North American hawk that glides low over grasslands and marshes while searching for small prey.
It has a long tail and a white patch at its base, and glides with its wings held in a shallow V. Males are gray and white; the larger females are brown.
It hunts by gliding low over grasslands and marshes for small mammals and birds. Its owl-like face helps it hear mice and voles beneath vegetation.
