One for the effort
After flying over my head this light morphed Rough-legged Hawk disappeared behind the tree lines and came back shortly afterwards with her prized possession. Don't know why it came back close to where some of us were standing - may be a bit of show-off. It flew over the road in front of us and landed on the grassy side at the opposite end to consume the vole. What a magnificent bird and quite tolerant of humans too. It was a challenging condition under cloudy sky and fading light, that boosted the ISO to 6400. An absolutely stunning bird. Whitby, Ontario
