Title: Name this Hawk
Post by: Hornseeker on January 20, 2012, 07:46:41 AM

North of Billings, MT. Co-worker took the pics with a 400.. not sure which 400, but on a Canon.

I gently added contrast and a little saturation to this one.

Giveaway is the black belly band and the feathering to the toes.
Rough Legged Hawk.
Lots of variation of color with this raptor. Usually a wintertime visitor. Vole eater.
