==Feeding==
Harriers have similar hunting and feeding habits world-wide. When looking for food they fly just above the vegetation, alternately flapping and gliding while the bird is scanning the ground below;<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_49GhQ5zvQ</ref> when a prey animal is found the harrier suddenly drops on it. Prey includes small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects; bird chicks are taken if the opportunity arises, as well as birds flushed from cover in surprise. Unlike other hawks and falcons, harriers do not pursue birds in full flight.
