We have been very fortunate to have a cooperative Rough legged hawk in our area right now. He has become quite the show stopper. Last night before leaving the estuary i set up this perch in hopes that in the early morning light the following day he would use it. Well it worked out.

Wow what a spectacular portrait of this species. I love everything about it, and wish one would cooperate like this around my area!
