harriers

Low-flying raptors

Harriers are medium-sized hawks known for flying low over open ground while hunting.

They have long wings and tails, and a distinctive owl-like facial disc.

The northern harrier is the most common species in North America.

Separately, harriers are cross-country runners, from the sport's origins in chasing hares across fields.

A harrier is also a breed of hound used for hunting hares.
