Rough-legged Hawk
An American Magpie (Pica hudsonia) patiently and I would say boldly waits next to Rough-legged Hawk (Buteo lagopus) as it feeds on a white goose, likely dead from the avian flu which occurred in the migrant flocks of geese in the area. It would attempt to scavenge any bits of scraps left by the hawk which was observed feeding in a stubble field east of Tofield, Alberta, Canada.
