The Rough-legged Hawks I saw usually perched peacefully on the trees or the sign posts not doing much. This Hawk's behavior was the opposite of what I used to see. He was so unpredictable and somewhat funny.
While landing nicely on the sign post the Hawk spotted something on the ground that caught his attention. It's difficult to say what it was but my guess is that the Hawk noticed some motion.
The Hawk is still looking down while keeping his wings wide spread.
Hmm... for how long are you going to stare at the ground?
At some moment his feathers on the chest started to look like a neck ruff.
Finally, the Hawk decided to settle down and observe the world.
Peaceful and beautiful, in all his glory.
Eventually, the Rough-legged Hawk became bored with me and flew to a different location. I walked around the closed gate, stepping into the hunting territory in order to get this shot.
Generally, life is good!
Least effort or energy-saving.
