Took these this morning along the South Jetty Road----I'm guessing the two females are fighting over territory and loudly squealing kinda like mice------thanks for viewing!!

I added the top three pics a few hours later----
The dominant female kept circling over either a dead or grounded rival---was she pissed!!

Cool behaviour and though I have seen Harriers quite often I have never seen this

Thanks for the comments----Could they be in conflict for some other reason, I wonder??

Great catches, Jim. The third one does it most for me with the drama of the composition, as well as being the sharpest one.
