Cropped, sharpened as much as I dare, not a great shot, but I've never seen a Ferruginous Hawk before so I had to post it. I'll work on getting good shots in the future. Very cool looking hawk!

Trish and I took a run down to the Birds of Prey Center in Coaldale on Sept 6.
Love these hawks, they have a very "eagle like" look to them. Have yet to get a good shot of one in the wild.

Trish and I went for a drive south of the city today. We saw lots of rough-legged hawks as well as a few red-tails. Also seen were GHO's, bald eagles, Barrow's Goldeneyes and 11 short-eared owls. Highlight of the day though was a Ferruginous hawk.
This was the absolute highlight of the day. My first decent look and Trish's first look at a ferruginous hawk. The bird was very docile and just sat as Trish and I took all the shots we wanted. Only thing missing here was a chance for a flight shot.
