This morning, February 10, 2002, I found a light phase
Rough-legged Hawk in the field across from the
intersection of Routes 656 and 80 in the Elk Garden
area of the county. It was hunting over the field very
close to the road. There was another Rough-legged Hawk
in the same area about 3 weeks ago. I went back home
to get Laverne and we went back to try and relocate
the hawk again. We did not relocate the Rough-legged
Hawk but we did find 2 Golden Eagles in the same area.
One was a juvenile that was soaring very low over the
area. It landed on the ground twice and we were able
to get very good looks at it. The other was a second
year bird that was perched in the top of a tree in the
middle of the field. We were able to approach within
50 to 100 yards of the bird before it took flight. It
was quite a morning.
