Two things make them really hard to shoot. First, the "grey ghost" (grey colored male harrier) is generally very illusive, such that you might see 10 females before you see a male. Second, they fly very low to the ground and focusing on the bird vs. the cattails and marsh bushes that are just a few feet below is very hard. Actually there's three, they fly in erratic patterns, making them hard to track.
