I’m tuckered.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s blog post<\/a><\/span><\/span> about a mated (and mating) pair of Red-tailed Hawks was an incredible amount of work over two days and I’m still feeling the effects. So I’m keeping today’s edition of Feathered Photography relatively short and simple.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen and photographed fewer Rough-legged Hawks than usual this winter so when I found this one eight days ago I was more than pleased to get her in my viewfinder, if only for a couple of seconds. Almost immediately after this photo was taken she disdainfully turned her back to me and…<\/p>\n

took off at a less than desirable angle. Check out all those wrinkles in the primaries of her left wing. I don’t see this many feather wrinkles this well very often.<\/p>\n

I strongly suspect she was the last Roughie I’ll see this season. She was the only one I found that morning (usually I see as many as a half dozen in that area) and on my last trip up there three days ago I didn’t find a single one. It’s likely that I won’t see my next Roughie until sometime next fall.<\/p>\n

At this point all I can do is wish them a highly successful breeding season in arctic and subarctic Alaska and Canada.<\/p>\n
