We were entertained by this low flying immature hawk, one of the lowest that I have ever encountered while it was hunting for food. Almost full frame.

A dapper Rough Legged Hawk posing outside our car window in the later afternoon hours. Love it when they ignore you :) I really like this very light version.

This Buteo is the member of that hawk family in North America which is most associated with cold climates. They breed in the Arctic, and their winter migration range does not extend beyond the mid and south USA. We often observe them over wintering here in central Alberta.

A couple of days ago I put a mono image up of a walking trail leading to the top of a hill. Well, when you got to the top of the hill this is one of the sights to be found there. This narrow gorge felt the full impact of the Atlantic tide as the water rushed in and out again creating gushing water spouts where it sucked in and out of crevasses and half submerged caves. Quite a bit of pure and natural drama, most enjoyable to stand there and be immersed in the moment.
This hawk sat on the post for several minutes, giving me the opportunity to take a number hof shots. He was a real beauty... Vicinity of Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary in West Alton, Missouri
After waiting in the car for a take off shot, we got the parallel and linear path we had hoped for. This one provided nice frames. This one being one of them.

This is a shot taken the morning after we arrived in Pappette, Tahiti, the water was real choppy, and I noticed the ferry starting to run again between the islands after being stopped or a couple of days because of the Cyclone. I know you cant seethe ferry in this shot, but I hope i caught the fel of the rough conditions
I was sure Happy not to be on the ferry the conditions were real rough and it was rocking up nd down in a big way
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.

Not the sharpest of images, but a nice documentation shot of this beautifully-marked Rough-leg. Interestingly, I've seen only one of this species in my many years of birding (granted, not prime RLHA territory) and never gotten a good photo. Last weekend, while exploring Lincoln County and other areas along the Mississippi River north of St Louis, my friends and I spotted something around 10 individuals, including a gorgeous dark phase. It's quite the irruption year...
