I just took a look at these pictures and them seem very similar to many of the rough-leeged hawks that I photographed at Crex Meadows back in November. If you would like to compare here is a post which feature both dark and light morph. http://ecobirder.blogspot.com/search/label/rough-legged%20hawk I think that the light morph, which I saw at least 6 with this coloration, is a pretty close match.

Hi All-- While unsuccessfully searching for the Northfield Snowy Owl, I did see two Rough-legged Hawks in Rice Co. One was very dark. The other I photographed and posted on my blog: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com This bird seems to me to show somewhat unusual plumage and, in any case, is a pretty slick photo. It has been a couple of days since I have heard of anyone seeing the owl. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika daner...@gmail.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
