Around 11:30 this morning, I found a Rough-legged Hawk hovering over the fields
just east of the Mt Pleasant Observatory. I watched it for about 15 minutes,

After being absent for most of the winter, there was a Rough-legged Hawk
hovering over the fields at the eastern end of Mt Pleasant Road around 6:00
this evening when I drove by. I've had only one other sighting of this species
up here this year.

Mt Pleasant's first Rough-legged Hawk of the winter put in an appearance just
in time to be included in yesterday's Christmas Bird Count, and today was
hovering in the wind around 9:15 am when I drove past.
