Probably a Northern Harrier hunting for lunch at the Ponds, a couple of days ago. I love watching these guys/gals darting through the air. I wonder how fast they fly, but I know they get from one end of my field of vision to the other in a matter of seconds. Northern Harriers capture small birds and mammals with a sudden pounce. They have a piercing whistle that sounds like eeeya. One of these days I'll bring a folding chair to a good viewing spot and just sit in wait of that perfect shot (fat chance)!
