These hawks are very common on the Great Plains and, honestly, a lot of times I don’t give them a second look. However, when I saw this light morph juvenile I felt compelled to take its picture. It was beautifully colored and tolerated my presence. Unfortunately I blew the ‘launch shot’ but got some nice pics of it sitting, even if on a pole.
