Northern Harrier Range Map
The Northern Harrier breeds from northern Alaska to southern Quebec and Newfoundland south to Baja California, southern Arizona, southern and eastern Texas, southern Illinois and southeastern Virginia. It winters from Alaska (casually) and southern British Columbia east to South Dakota, southern Ontario and Massachusetts south through the United States to South America. The Northern Harrier typically inhabits sloughs, wet meadows, fresh or salt marshes, swamps, prairies and plains. It generally roosts on the ground or perches on very low objects such as fence posts or tree stumps. During the non-breeding season, it inhabits areas far removed from nesting habitat. The Northern Harrier roosts in undisturbed fields or marshes in winter.
