Rough-Legged Hawk IMG_8914 - a photo on Flickriver

Rough-Legged Hawk IMG_8914

            This image was taken in December when the hawk was first spotted in Peace Valley Park. I revisited my images and thought this might be worth posting. It is a somewhat awkward looking pose, as the bird's right leg and foot is barely visible (the talons are visible hear the top of the branch).
 After approaching Red-Tailed Hawks to photograph and watching them fly away, this bird was extraordinary in how oblivious it was to people. According to Arthur Morris, birds that come down from arctic regions (like this bird) may have never seen a human. Consequently, they can make "wonderful subjects".
