This was another Life Bird for me...so needless to say I was really excited! A hawk of the North, the Rough-legged Hawk breeds in Arctic tundra and taiga regions around the northern hemisphere. Both dark and light forms are common, with many birds intermediate between the extremes. It's only here in the winter...and with the 0 degree weather...it must have felt right at home ;-)

These photos are stunning - very beautiful. A question - did you have to make any adjustments to lift shadows off the bird? When I try to photo birds against a blue sky I find the birds too dark even though I up the ISO and shutter speed.
