Rough-legged Hawk / Buteo lagopus
I am doing a superb job of bombarding everyone with photos - sorry! My main aim is to work on and finish all the photos from my trip mid-March to Trinidad & Tobago. However, I am getting the odd day when I go out and needless to say, I take photos, even though I really don't need/want any more to look through and edit, ha.
This photo is from the day before yesterday, 28 April 2017, when I spent the day with my daughter. She was not up to a long day's drive, so we went to the Saskatoon Farm for breakfast and a wander round their grounds. I always love to see and photograph their Artichokes and Sunflowers, at any season.
Afterwards, we called in at Spruce-it-Up Garden Centre, which neither of us had visited before. From there, I drove westwards as far as the Priddis area, where we had hoped to see a few birds. Not too much to be seen, though we did see a very welcome little Yellow-rumped Warbler, various hawks including this rather distant, Rough-legged Hawk perched on a lichen-covered fence, American Kestrels, and several Mountain Bluebirds.
We had typical weather - a mix of sun, cloud, rain and even a few snowflurries, but at least it didn't rain heavily all day. Thanks for an enjoyable day, Rachel! Lovely to spend it with you.
I have two back-to-back day trips coming up, so editing time will be very scarce. I have to get up in the middle of the night for the second trip (just after 2:00 am), or I may even stay up the whole night to make sure I don't oversleep. What we birders/photographers do for the chance of taking photos!
