	Northern Harrier: WhoZoo
		The Northern Harrier is a slender bird with long wings, a long tail, yellow legs, an owl-like facial disk, a conspicuous white rump (that shows easily in flight), and yellow eyes.
		The harrier would make a loud scream, kee-kee-kee: kek, kek, kek, when someone disturbs her or is near her territory.
		The harrier's owl-like facial appearance is due to the presence of "filo feathers" that facilitate acute directional hearing.

	Submission No:263
		As described and depicted in the photographs the bird was a rather pale adult male harrier with pale grey dorsal tones and a contrasting upperwing pattern that included flish innerwing-coverts and prominent fl wing-tips; a markedly pale underbody with a contrasting flish ‘hood’; and a whitish underwing with fl wing-tips.
		The key features mentioned in the description as identifying the bird as a Papuan Harrier are its generally pale appearance coupled with a contrasting flish hood and fl wing-tips (on both wing surfaces).
		A ‘pied’ morph adult male Eastern Marsh (Papuan) Harrier Circus spilothorax spilothorax, a species recorded no closer to Australia than Borneo (Coates 1991), is also eliminated by the dark though clearly barred (not solid fl) underwing-tips similar in pattern to a male Swamp Harrier though giving a darker wing-tip impression.

	Kahu, the harrier hawk, Circus approximans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I have never come across one of their nests but the books tell me it is a low platform of bracken, manuka, raupo and flax stalks, topped with rushes, cabbage tree leaves and grass.
		It is sited on the ground in swamps, in wet patches covered in rushes, in bracken fern, rank grass in young pine plantations or on road verges.
		It is good to know that Kahu, the harrier, is one raptor who is holding his own.

		The 2 harriers soar mainly close to the ground.
		You can see from the diagram that the white bellied sea-eagle, which can often be seen over land up to 200 Km or more from the coast, glides with its wings held higher than any other raptor.
		Harriers, both swamp and spotted, also glide with wings upcurved but not quite so high, and the wedge-tailed Eagle and fl-breasted Buzzard wings are held in a lesser up-curve.

	Tropical Birding Australia Tour
		The Mareeba reserve itself is very nice, but we did not add that much to the trip, and the late opening-early closing times are not conducive to great birding without staying there.
		This is an impressive little setup with a walkway going along way through Bullrush swamp to get to a seasonal lake.
		The winds were so intense that the birds were all hunkered down, you could not pick up any movement even if they did pop up because of the movement of the trees.
