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.

Russell National Wildlife Refuge , more than a million acres of prairie, badlands, coulees, and the massive Fort Peck Reservoir on the Missouri River. In the winters the snow lies heavy and researchers travel in and out by small plane. The tussocks are badgers, the stones are grouse until they fails to fly away.

Of course, excellent opportunity to go birding with my friends Brad and Laura. My colleague Doug wrote me an email describing the whereabouts of these “rosy finches” and my wife had to manage my excitement with horse tranquilizer… What a fantastic little birds. This is a simple grey and black bird but I have always wanted to see one.
