Rough-legged Hawk

Sax-Zim Bog; Duluth,MN

This is an adult male light-morph. This bird is true to form for a Rouhg-leg, tee'd up on the smallest of twigs. The upperparts have a very intricate pattern, and you can see the banding of the tail, and white base of tail. Note also the small bill of this arctic species.
