When I’m lucky I spot one slowly flying over a small section of our farm at just this time of year. However, one of my most memorable sights years ago was seeing dozens of them crisscrossing a low area while driving from Houston to Galveston in January. We stopped the car to just soak in that view and the feeling of awe. I didn’t even try to count them.
I love Northern Harriers too. It sounds like you have perfect habitat. It is a thrill to me to see one fly low over a field. I haven’t seen many in heavily wooded Maine.
