Northern harrier behavior

At Bennington Lake this morning there were a pair of northern harriers.  The male put on quite a show with it displays – going straight up and then swooping down on the female.  But that wasn't enough for this feisty bird.  It also harassed a great horned owl and actually chased it from the far west side of the high trail to the high trail on the east side.  Very interesting behavior and fun to watch.  Spring is definitely in the air!   Ginger
