Spotted this Northern Harrier while I was driving north on Highway 6 from southern Saskatchewan to Melfort about a week ago.
UPDATE (Oct. 13, 2024) – Was looking at photos on this blog and I think this is a Red-tailed Hawk (dark morph?).
And a coyote on the prowl near the Quill Lakes info sign on the Yellowhead Highway
Looks like a 12-guage shotgun slug hole near the center of the sign, and a scattering of approximately 9mm or .30 cal bullets. Hmmm. . .
