Lower Klamath Basin Wildlife Refuge. Rough-legged Hawks 2013
We had a few real good looks at Rough-legged Hawks at the Lower Klamath Basin Wildlife Refuge this week. We saw a half dozen dark morphs. It was a great trip. Thanks Dave and Josh for coming along.

So anyways really don't shoot to much anymore, but friends always have cameras laying around and its always for to "pop off a couple snaps" as Zach would say. me and Jesse were passing the camera to each other on this day....

Good clean Patagials, strong marked up carpal blocks, dark wing tips, light colored head, eye stripe, dusky sub-terminal, brown body, buff-streaked chest, there is a lot going on here, totally different from any RTHA wing configuration....
What a year for the Rough-legged Hawks. They always show up every winter in the Lower Klamath Basin. We also had a real good year down here in the North Bay Area.
Lots of sightings and over-wintering Rough-legged in Sonoma, Marin and Solano. At least that is from our records at WCHW. Also the list serves have listed the Roughies through-out their traditional over-wintering range in good numbers
