The Rusty Squirrel-Hawk AKA Ferruginous Hawk
10,000 Birds
DECEMBER 19, 2012
The Ferruginous Hawk ( Buteo regalis ) is truly a regal bird. I took a ride up to the Fall River Valley back in October and spotted both morphs in the large grasslands where we also usually see Rough-legged Hawks and Prairie Falcons. Obviously more research needs to be done on this magnificent raptor. This is the light morph.
