One of my favorites...

The 'RoughLegged Hawk' is one of my favorites! I have a fascination with raptors and this species just captures my heart. I drive out almost on a daily schedule just to watch them (I must have hundreds of pictures); they will be leaving soon to head back to the Arctic Tundra for breeding...in fact I think most have left as I'm catching fewer each day. They are either 'light' or 'dark' morph; there is a fairly uncommon intermediate morph also. They are one of the three raptors we have that have feathered legs right down to the toes. In the second photo I caught the nictitating membrane covering the eye. Comments welcome...

Looks like he's watching you just as hard as you're watching him. Get the feeling of "Whatta you lookin at?"
