    Raptor - West of Minneapolis, MN

    My brother sent me this photo of a raptor he saw in a marsh area west of Minneapolis. When I saw the photo, I immediately thought and still believe - "Northern Harrier" - but he insists this bird was much larger. Any thoughts?

I am wondering if anybody has any tips for birding Paros...and actually, I specifically want to find European Bee Eater - I would love to hear...

    Bar-tailed Bird in Suburban Portland, Oregon - Shrike?

    I can't make heads or tails of this bird, seen at the very top of a very large tree in Southwest Portland, Is this a Northern Shrike? Maybe its not barred, but shadows from the fir tree make it appear so? Thanks!
