Rough-legged Hawk

Such a very heavily cropped photo, but I can get away with it at this size displayed on the computer. It's such a rare thing that I actually manage to find hawks when I'm driving and yesterday I saw about 7 or 8 of them just south of the city. All were circling way, way up in the sky, except for this Rough-legged Hawk who perched in a tree by the side of the road. Guess when a large, noisy truck went zooming by on an otherwise empty road! Luckily, I got this shot before it flew!

Ever watchful

Another photo of a Rough-legged Hawk, taken south of the city when I went for a wonderful day out with Flickr friends, Ron and Trish. Still feeling so grateful for the chance to see these amazing birds of prey and get a few photos : ) Lol, I got a lot of blurry photos and a lot of missed shots, but was lucky enough to get several that came out OK. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rough-legged_Hawk/id
