Our cold but enjoyable free nature walk on Sunday at DeKorte produced some great looks at Northern Harriers flying low near Disposal Road (above).

We also got distant looks at our target bird, the Rough-legged Hawk.

Full list from Sunday's walk (courtesy of Kevin Browne, who saw a few more great birds post-walk) follows. (Thanks, Kevin!)
