Northern Harrier
I have recently become fascinated with this raptor species. They hunt low to the ground, often spooking flocks of coots and ducks into the air by buzzing them while they rest in the wetlands. It's rather owlish face is really unique in that is allows them to hunt a bit like an owl by using sound due to its parabolic face dish.
