Sunday afternoon I was watching birds from the porch again. I heard a jay scolding back into the woods. Soon other jays followed along with a lot of other very agitated birds. About 10 minutes later a large hawk swooped from the woods, along the fence line and back up. It was a large hawk, brownish with a white rump patch. I thought Northern Harrier and dismissed it. I then told myself I must have seen the front of the hawk and assumed it was a large Cooper's Hawk. I was reviewing some of my eBird listings and see that I recorded a Northern Harrier a couple of Januarys ago at the house. I had forgotten all about it, but I recall it as flying low over the trees. We have just under 2.5 acres at the back of a rural subdivision. Two sides of the property are along the woods with a large portion of the property in grass. Is it possible I seen a Northern Harrier? It just doesn't feel like I should have. Any other bird with a white rump that it could have been? Kristy Baker Rockvale TN Rutherford County
