No photo on this one (I was on a bicycle at the time).
Bird appeared to be the right size, shape, and coloration for a Northern Harrier: Predominantly gray above with very clearly visible white rump. Longish tail. Problem is habitat: saw it in a suburban neighborhood appearing to move towards a tree.
Could it be something else? Or is this safe to call Northern Harrier? (One was logged on eBird about 3.5 miles away on 13 February.)
Thanks in advance for the thoughts.
