Sexing (and identifying juvenile) Rough-legged Hawks

The Rough-legged Hawk is our only buteo that exhibits true sexual dimorphism so adults can be sexed based on plumage.

At first glance veteran readers of Feathered Photography may think you’ve seen these images before. Believe me, you haven’t.

Any day I see eight Golden Eagles is a good day for me so yesterday was a very good day..

When you’re this small it takes guts to take on prey heavier than yourself but intestinal fortitude is this owl’s long suite.

Boy, have my tastes ever changed over the last few years!

Each of these photos has something just a little bit different about it, at least in my collection of Barn Owl images.

Maybe it’s a small world for porcupines too.

Several comments on yesterday’s post about the value of wildlife in urban landscapes were the inspiration for today’s post.

Sometimes it pays to answer your phone, even when it awakens you from a much-needed nap.

And readers know I’m not a fan of most photo contests.
