Buteo lagopus
This large, beautiful hawk was sitting on the fence next to the road on Antelope Island and I was able to get
pretty close for a few shots. Everyone looks forward to the arrival of these majestic birds. © Carol Davis, 11-23-2011
It was scanning the hill for food and would glance over my way periodically just to check on me. I think
this is the same one I found kiting (hovering in the wind) further down the hill. They have a beautiful brown
tail with a white band and it spreads out when they're hovering. © Carol Davis, 11-23-2011
