I saw a pair in the district last year, also picking up nesting material (4480430). It would be exciting if they're the same pair (or different pair!), and breeding in the area . . .

Yes I saw your post Lisa and exactly what I thought! That would be awesome!

Fingers crossed! I saw a little eagle in the same place about a month ago - maybe it's the place to be if you're a raptor!

First two photos showcase the long legs of the Spotted Harrier.

Saw them both this morning, same location, unable to get any photos. So they're still there.
