Observation details
Flying along ridge line due west of the Bosque de Paz garden, appearing after a large kettle of vultures with the Plumbeous Kite disappeared into misty clouds. This bird followed the approximate path of the kettle but was about a minute behind; the bird then disappeared into misty clouds. Photo shows long tail and wings bent at elbow with considerable head projection. Shape inconsistent with Cooper's Hawk, long tail, bend at elbow and deep chest during wing beat point to Northern Harrier. Photos were manually focused due to distance so any patterns may be due to focus blurring.
