I took photos of a female Northern Harrier a year ago, and posted some of them last January. Today, while looking through the archive, I found another photo that outshines those. As you can see below, an eye of this raptor is clearly visible on its owlish face.

Isn’t is funny (and perhaps a bit scary) when going back into the archives you find a photo that outshines the others you initially preferred? And I agree with you, the look/eyes of this photo is extraordinary.
