But it’s a start.<\/p>\n

Every early winter I look forward to my first high quality Rough-legged Hawk photos of the year. Roughies have been here for several weeks now but I’m still trying. I had hopes of achieving my goal on a trip to Bear River MBR yesterday morning but it didn’t quite happen. I saw several of them but they were all too far away or they were on ugly road signs. Or both.<\/p>\n

1\/3200, f\/6.3, ISO 320, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS II USM + EF 1.4 III Extender, not baited, set up or called in<\/em><\/p>\n

This Roughie allowed me my closest scrape with success. I had a clear view of ‘her’, she was on a natural perch and in good light but I just couldn’t get close enough. The tree she was perched on was inaccessible and no public road got any closer than the one I was on.<\/p>\n

This photo has been cropped far too much for great detail and she’s still pretty small in the frame. It’s been cropped to 32.5 % of the original image.<\/p>\n

This older photo is more like what I had in mind.<\/p>\n

But the first photo above is a start for this year and it inspires me to keep trying.<\/p>\n
