Harrier (and Chiefs) History
Once we were Chiefs...
Our Mascot
Northern Harrier, Master Hunter
by Keven Colbert
The Northern Harrier is a slim, graceful raptor (bird of prey) with long pointed wings, a long tail, and a white rump. Males have a gray back, head, and breast, while the females and young are brown above and streaked below.
Harriers can be identified on the prairie by their low cruising flight that is interrupted by pull-ups, wingovers, and drop-pounces in pursuit of mice, songbirds, snakes, frogs, or other prey. They are known for their "surprise" attacks, sneaking up on prey by flying close to the ground.
This raptor is also thought to have keener hearing than other hawks. Their disk-shaped faces, like those of owls, are believed to be able to amplify sound.
