Horned Larks and Rough-legged Hawks
Thursday, December 25, 2008 by Clint.
Today was a very beautiful day to go to the grasslands of Fort Edward, NY. Although there were no owls to be seen this time there were Rough-legged Hawks and lots of little Horned Larks. The recent snow made a nice backdrop for some of the photos I took.
Horned Larks…these slightly smaller than robin sized birds hang out in groups and seem to be especially attracted to roadsides.
I believe this perched hawk is the rarer dark phase of the Rough-legged Hawk.
The Rough-legged Hawks in flight are stunning!
And this is my personal favorite:
And here are two Red-tailed Hawk shots:
The snow covered winter grasslands made for some beautiful, serene scenics:
I think this one lends itself very well to a black and white rendition
