Rough-legged hawk, CHARLOTTESVILLE

Yesterday, while I was driving home from work at 4:40 p.m., a mature
female Rough-legged hawk crossed Interstate 64 at a low altitude just in
front of me, about a half mile east of Exit 121 (Fifth Street).  As I
passed underneath, I was impressed by the size of this bird, a bit larger
than our abundant local red-tails.  I could clearly see the golden chest,
black belly, and long, slender, whitish  underwings with bold dark patches
at the wrist.  She was moving southwesterly.
