We have had at least two Rough-legged Hawks in the district in the past week or so — typically at a long distance.  Herewith, some pix of this rare hawk, both light-morph and dark morph. 

Above, the light-morph, photographed by Patrick Carney on Dec. 31 on Disposal Road.

Below, a dark-morph photographed earlier that day by Ron Shields on — you guessed it — Disposal Road.
