Today was surprisingly slow at State Line — only seven Broad-winged Hawks.
But then Isaac Michael Ruschak spotted a male Northern Harrier — a Gray Ghost — flying along the shoreline. And t0ok some great pix as well.
It was a sight to behold. I had never seen a Gray Ghost from above before. That's one of the many great aspects of Stateline.
