Super shots-love 'em!
Question: These harriers in breeding plumage? I see these winter time in S. Texas, but females are more brown-colored and the males, nicknamed the Grey Ghost are, right, grey. Haven't seen coloring like this.

Honestly, I have no idea. I am seriously new to the bird thing and have no idea what I am looking at. As I delve deeper into the bird picture world I will have to educate myself on the different types and spiecies of birds. Oh and thanks for the compliments. They are very much appreciated.

Careful, birding can become an all-consuming pastime!;-)a
I went back and looked at some of my Harrier shots and the coloring isn’t really all that different. It is a female you have there. For some reason, the males are not that prevalent.
