I was out and about at some of our preserves today. I saw no fewer then 50 Rough Legs. Basically any patch of habitat had them perched or hunting. This seems to be quite the fall for this species. In my 13 years in the area I don't recall seeing so many in one day. Good Birding Matt Mecklenburg

I went out today looking for the hawk, and found it right away. I was only out there about 15 minutes, because I didn't want to make it fly too much. I did manage to get a few shots, including one where it flew closer to me and landed on top of a spruce tree. I did see a second hawk fly by, but

From my desk at work I get a great view of a large field in New Brighton that is very popular with the raptors. A few minutes ago something caught my eye, a Rough-Legged Hawk chasing a Red-Tailed Hawk very low over the field. They ended up perching in different areas resumed hunting. I've

Laura Coble and I found rough-legged hawks in 3 different locations in the vicinity of Northfield today. One cooperative bird perched for at least 20 minutes near the roadside on Hwy. 19, just east of the driveway entry to the boy scout camp, before lifting up and flying east. The second one was
