Harrier

[Update]: An older version of this story stated that the new 2021 Harrier is "essentially a rebadged and slightly modified version of the fourth-gen Lexus RX." That's not true, as the latest RX is based on the Toyota K platform, while the 2021 Harrier will actually ride on the TNGA-K architecture. We apologize for the incorrect information. An official press release has been added, too. The last major update for the The new Harrier will be available in two modifications when it comes to its powertrains. There’s a hybrid model, which uses a 2.5-liter inline-four direct-injection engine supported by either one or two electric motors depending on the layout. The FWD version has a peak output of 218 horsepower (160 kilowatts), while the AWD model is slightly more powerful at 222 hp (163 kW). Power from the combustion engine reaches the wheels through an electric continuously variable transmission. There’s also a conventional gasoline-powered model, which is powered by a 2.0-liter engine generating a maximum of 171 hp (126 kW) at 6,600 rpm and 153 pound-feet (207 Newton-meters) at 4,800 rpm. The four-cylinder engine is mated to a direct shift CVT gearbox. Both the hybrid and the standard gas-powered models will be available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The new Harrier will also come with an array of safety and assist systems, including Toyota’s Safety Sense family of technologies. It comprises a pre-collision safety system that detects pedestrians du...

Conservation status Has disappeared from many former nesting areas, especially in southern parts of range, and surveys suggest that it is still declining in parts of North America. Family Habitat Marshes, fields, prairies. Found in many kinds of open terrain, both wet and dry habitats, where there is good ground cover. Often found in marshes, especially in nesting season, but sometimes will nest in dry open fields. Parts of Europe and Asia have several kinds of harriers, but North America has only one. Harriers are very distinctive hawks, long-winged and long-tailed, usually seen quartering low over the ground in open country. At close range, the face of our Northern Harrier looks rather like that of an owl; like an owl (and unlike most other hawks) it may rely on its keen hearing to help it locate prey as it courses low over the fields. Photo Gallery Feeding Behavior Usually hunts by flying low over fields, scanning the ground; males tend to fly lower and faster than females. May find some prey by sound. On locating prey in dense cover, may hover low over site or attempt to drive prey out into open. Eggs 4-6, sometimes 2-7, rarely more. Pale bluish-white, fading to white and becoming nest-stained; sometimes spotted with pale brown. Incubation is by female only, 30-32 days. Young: Female remains with young most of time at first; male brings food and delivers it to female, who feeds it to young. After young are about 2 weeks old, female does much of the hunting for them. Yo...

Basic Description The Northern Harrier is distinctive from a long distance away: a slim, long-tailed hawk gliding low over a marsh or grassland, holding its wings in a V-shape and sporting a white patch at the base of its tail. Up close it has an owlish face that helps it hear mice and voles beneath the vegetation. Each gray-and-white male may mate with several females, which are larger and brown. These unusual raptors have a broad distribution across North America. Find This Bird In fall through spring, look for harriers in wide-open grasslands, marshes, or fields. You’re most likely to notice Northern Harriers when they are flying. Note the low, slow, coursing flight style, the bird’s V-shaped wing posture, and its white rump. During migration in the fall and spring, you can also see harriers high in the sky over mountain ridges and coastlines. • Northern Harriers are the most owl-like of hawks (though they’re not related to owls). They rely on hearing as well as vision to capture prey. The disk-shaped face looks and functions much like an owl’s, with stiff facial feathers helping to direct sound to the ears. • Juvenile males have pale greenish-yellow eyes, while juvenile females have dark chocolate brown eyes. The eye color of both sexes changes gradually to lemon yellow by the time they reach adulthood. • Male Northern Harriers can have as many as five mates at once, though most have only one or two. The male provides most of the food for his mates and their offspring,...

Keep reading to get to know the rare and loveable Harrier dog. Source: @wannabewerewolf / IG Quick Navigation • • • • • • • • • Origin: What breed of dog is a Harrier? This fido’s name came from their long history of hunting hares in the 1200s when the English started developing the breed. That’s why they were also referred to as Harehounds. Eventually, they ventured into chasing other critters, too, like foxes. Like its other cousins, the Fun fact: It is believed that theharrier type of dogs may have been brought by Normans to England when they invaded in 1066. The Penistone pack is the first known pack of Harriers that existed in Britain in 1260, and for at least half a millennium, the line continued. We can thank Elias de Midhope for developing the pack’s descendants. Harrier packs were popular first in England in medieval times, and later in colonial times in the United States. Although the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes the Harrier hound, the English Kennel Club hasn’t since 1971, even if the breed came from England. It is thought that it’s because owners of English Harriers prefer to hunt with them on fields than show them in rings. What does a Harrier look like? Sourc...
