Winter’s raptor
The Rough-legged hawks (Buteo lagopus) have arrived along the prairies with winter back. Along with Snowy owls, they will dominate the skies until well into spring.
I was excited to see Snowies a couple of times in the morning last weekend but they were less enthused to see me and flew away before I could stop. This hawk was much more tolerant, I was able to photograph it for half an hour as it perched and flew along the fence line.
