- Fakta menarik
- Male hen harriers are so different in plumage from the larger, brown females (grey-white vs. brown) that the sexes were long mistaken for different species, and some males are polygynous, pairing with up to five females in a single breeding season.
- Sebaran
- Breeds across northern and temperate Eurasia (from Britain and Scandinavia east to Siberia); migratory populations winter south into southern Europe, North Africa, and southern Asia, with some milder-climate populations resident year-round
