2009_0227 Ferruginous Hawk

I am seeing significant numbers of raptors this week, including the magnificent Ferruginous Hawk. This pale morph Ferruginous has just come off a fence post, predictably flying away from me, but offering a good head profile for an instant or two. I'm taking it all in with great appreciation, as most raptors will be gone within a couple of weeks, southbound to their various wintering grounds.
