The northern harrier breeds from
Alaska to the east coast of the Canadian provinces, and south to southern
California, Arizona, Kansas, and Virginia. The wintering range for the
northern harrier extends from British Columbia, Canada and the great lakes
region south to South America (AOU 1982). Northern Harriers breed from
Alaska, throughout Canada, and through the lower 48 states. They winter in
Central America, occasionally reaching northern South America, and some
West Indies islands (Heintzelman 1979). |
