Rough-legged Hawk



Rough-legged hawks are fascinating birds. Somehow they found the way to Bear River and stay there during the coldest, the harshest winter months.

When winter will be over these raptors migrate to the arctic Tundra where they raise their young ones.  

And then another December will come and Bear river will welcome Rough-legged hawks again. Life continues.

    1. Cao, I think he is immature because of his behavior. Mature hawks are more careful when you approach them :)

  7. Birds of prey have an expression somewhere between fierce and mean, it seems to me ....

    Your photograph reveals this guy perfectly, Kaya .... he probably is watching you in his peripheral vision ....

  9. Bella y altanera ave. No se si será el caso pero en el sur de Europa las cigüeñas ya no emigran en invierno a África, se quedan porque por el efecto del cambio climático no tienen necesidad de irse en invierno.
    Un abrazo.
