Wildlife Spotting

If you search for photos of adult male Northern Harriers, you will see that they clearly look exactly like your bird. There's really no doubt that this is a male Northern Harrier. The description of the flight style you gave is really irrelevant since it's not flying in this photo. And "owl-like disk" is the appropriate description of the face, which is even given in the Cornell link you provided...

And I never said owl-like disk. I said owl face

You will need to read it again. The Northern Harrier is distinctive from a long distance away: a slim, long-tailed hawk gliding low over a marsh or grassland, holding its wings in a V-shape and sporting a white patch at the base of its tail. Up close it has an owlish face that helps it hear mice and voles beneath the vegetation. Each gray-and-white male may mate with several females, which are larger and brown. These unusual raptors have a broad distribution across North

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Harrier/id Tell that to Cornell

male harriers do not have the owl-like facial disk or a female or immature male...

Would it be an immature one Ashley?

Yes, it's a harrier

are you sure. I don't see the owl face and there seems to be a lot of feathers down the leg.

Male Northern Harrier was correct. All field marks are correct

I took this photo Thank you Andrew for posting it here for me!!! This Hawk has the grey wing coloring of a Male Northern Harrier, but has way to many feathers all the way down its legs. And the distinctive marking around the eye isnt there for a Harrier. its way to big for a Merlin, and there isnt enough Blue/grey color on its head or the orange colors on its chest for a Falcon Pleas help me with the ID Im kinda new to this birding ID thing Thank you so much
