Rough-legged takeoff

Making the best of clipped wings: Rough-legged Hawk edition. This was my first time seeing this raptor — hopefully more images to come. Clicked the wrong dial (aperture not shutter speed) on this image but it worked out thankfully, taken with a D500 and 500mm + 1.4 TC at 1/1600 f/10 (!!) and ISO 1,600.
