Any perch will do

Another shot of this beautiful Rough-legged Hawk, which flew ahead of us (Ron and Trish, who so kindly took me along with them for a wonderful day of birding) as we drove slowly along one of the roads south of Calgary. This wasn't exactly the most photogenic of perches, but the Hawk actually sat long enough to get a shot or two. Usually, they are sitting on a fence post, at the top of a tall electricity pole, on a hay bale in the middle of a field, or in a tree. So many skittish birds that day : )
