This rough legged hawk was so into his hunting that the bird allowed me to get close enough for this almost full frame shot. Seconds after this jump the rough legged hawk had a mouse!

This rough legged hawk photo is a major crop job but I still like it. This hawk is hunting just before sundown. Rough legged hawks can be seen in many parts of Minnesota during the winter. They tend to favor open spaces near large blocks of wooded areas. The areas...
