Rough Legged Hawk just chilling out. It was a very cold morning on the Colorado Front Range when I took this picture as you can tell from the frost on this poor guy. He normally is very willing to pose for pictures and this day was no different but I suspect it may have been because he simply was too darned cold. 😉 There are quite a few of these Arctic visitors here this year, far more than I have seen in year’s past. It won’t be long though and they will head north.
