	Pallid Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pallid Harrier (Circus macrourus) is a migratory bird of prey of the harrier family.
		This is a typical harrier, with long wings held in a shallow V in its low flight.
		Pallid Harriers hunt small mammals, lizards and birds, surprising them as they drift low over fields and moors.

	ID Issues
		The first step in correctly identifying a "ringtail" harrier is to determine the age of the bird.
		Pallid has three dark bars evenly spaced, but diffuse and not well developed, with inner two narrower than trailing edge.
		Includes great detail on the identification of Montagu's and Pallid Harriers, Steppe and Tawny Eagles, Greater and Lesser Sand Plovers, etc. Hadoram Shirihai is widely recognised as one of the top field birders and identification experts in the Western Palearctic.

	Pallid Harrier, Circus macrourus
		Pallid Harriers hunt either singly or in small groups across open plains.
		Their preferred habitats are open grassy plains or dry steppes and they are equally at home in flat or undulating territory.
		Although not globally threatened their numbers have declined dramatically in areas where the habitat is being exploited by man (most notably in S Ukraine and SW Russia).

	Pallid Harrier - Steppekiekendief
		Females and immatures of Hen, Montagu's and Pallid Harrier can be very similar and may give rise to long identification debates.
		Pallid Harrier - Steppekiekendief Circus macrourus probably 2nd calender year male, videograbs (320x).
		A first-year bird turned up in the autumn of 2001, a period in which many Pallid Harriers were seen in N Europe.

	Surveying roosting harriers in the Aammiq Wetlands, Lebanon (Birds) - arocha, international, cross-cultural, Christian, ...
		To monitor the number of harriers, in particular the endangered Pallid Harrier, using the Aammiq Marsh as a roosting site during their migration and over-wintering.
		The second scenario appears to be have an influence on Marsh Harriers who use the reed beds to roost until the reed shoots mature and become too strong to be suitable.
		All the harriers used their own ‘hare-like’ form when roosting in the vegetation and the individual sites were at least 5 m.

	Circus macrourus
		The juvenile birds are almost as distinctive; their skinny shape and rufous colours are reminiscent of juvenile Montagu's Harriers but the head pattern, especially the broad, dark, half-collar around the nape is most striking.
		The dark ear patch on a Pallid Harrier continues far enough under the eye to connect up with the bill and is competely surrounded by a pale ring at the rear.
		In a Montagu's Harrier, the face pattern is less contrasting and the pale, not dark, moustachial area gives them a gentler expression.

	Circus aeruginosus
		The Marsh Harrier is larger than other harriers, with broader wings, a shorter tail and showing no signs of a pale rump.
		Juvenile Marsh Harriers can appear completely dark brown but they usually show some pale plumage on the head giving them the nickname of cream-crowns.
		As male Marsh Harriers get older they acquire areas of grey until their plumage becomes a patchwork of brown in the body, grey in the wings and tail and fl at the wing tips.

	OSME - Raptors in Jordan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Initially it was thought that birds were being missed, but the relative lack of birds supports the supposition that most passage follows the west side of Wadi Araba until some distance north of Aqaba, except in mid-afternoon and certain weather conditions (Shirihai and Christie 1992).
		In autumn there was an increased proportion of Montagu's, Marsh and Pallid Harriers and Osprey (Table 1).
		Unfortunately the survey was too late to cover the main autumn passage of Honey Buzzard, Marsh and Montagu's Harriers and Lesser Spotted Eagle, all of which peak in September (Andrews 1995) and it remains to be discovered whether large numbers of these species use this route in autumn.

	The Ultimate Death Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		The changes in the immediate post-death stage have received the most attention for two reasons - firstly it is the stage mostly likely to be seen by the living and secondly because of the research of forensics in potential crimes.
		Soon after death (15 to 120 minutes depending on various factors) the body begins to cool (algor mortis), becomes pallid (pallor mortis), and internal sphincter muscles relax leading to the release of urine, feces, and stomach contents if the body is moved.
		The blood moves to pool in the lowest parts of the body, livor mortis (dependent lividity), within thirty minutes and then begins to coagulate.
