Northern Harrier, Point Reyes National Seashore

I went out to Point Reyes yesterday for the afternoon.  Unfortunately, the fog rolled in about an hour or two before sunset.  That wiped out my hope of getting a good image of some animal lit by the setting sun.  Fortunately, this male harrier allowed me to photograph him midday.  He had just eaten a lizard and, shortly thereafter, decided there was no good reason to remain on the ground.
