Rough Legged Hawk
The crows had been working on this Roadkill deer for a while so I was supprised to see this Rough legged Hawk there the other morning. We don't see many RL around here 99%b red tail. I eased up along the sholder and it let me get pretty close. After I caught a nice series other trafic came by and flushed it. I was happy to get what I did.

Looks like he had his eyes in you, Kendall, even though he stayed where he was. I've never seen RL Hawk before....thanks for sharing this.
