I received several messages from respected birders who said
that it may be too early for Rough-Legged Hawks to be in the
Memphis area. Let me say that I did see three hawks cavorting
in the field. They looked to me for all the world like a snapshot
of the Light Morph Juvenile in Sibley's. But I am new to birding.
So I admit, they may not be Rough Legged Hawks, but Red Tailed
Hawks in disguise. Be thus forewarned.
