I drove to the Joachim Bible Refuge in Greene County after work today in
hopes of getting a better look at the Rough-legged Hawk that I briefly saw
last week. Today's sighting left no doubt in my mind as to the bird's
identity. The hawk hovered for several minutes at close range - so close
that I could see the feathers on its legs! Beautiful bird.

 

I found the hawk at the same place I saw it last week - in the large, flat
field in the refuge alongside South Mohawk Road between Bible's Chapel Road
and Murray Bridge Road. Additionally I found (1) Red-tailed Hawk, (4)
Eastern Bluebirds, (1) Northern Mockingbird, (1) Field Sparrow and (1)
Eastern Meadowlark at the refuge.

 

Did not have as good a luck with the owl; it was a no show for me.
