Field Notes
Description:
I believe this is the light morph of the Ferruginous Hawk, they are rusty brown on the upper parts and pale on the head, neck, and underparts with rust on the legs and some rust marking on the underwing. The upper wings are grey. The "Ferruginous" name refers to the rusty color of the light-morph birds.
Habitat:
Arid grasslands, prairie and shrubs.
