"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Buteo regalis: Ferruginous Hawk
Bit of an experiment today, with the white on black... only marginally successful, but an interesting project. (And hey, if you can't experiment on your blog, where can you?)
The Ferruginous Hawk is large (eagle-sized) American hawk. They can summer around this neck of the woods, but live year-round in the Southwest.
