Nice what the north wind blew in!
I found a rough legged hawk close to 3005 on Galveston Island,
north side, just before you enter San Luis Pass, before the blue
ball watertower. I first noticed it hovering low over the prairie,
with a white tail and thick black terminal band. It has pale wing
patch topside. Bottomside, black wingtips, white underwing primaries,
black "wrists", solid black belly, cream pale head and breast. I
think it's an adult female, light phase.
It hung around at least two hours. Likes to sit on top of telephone
pole when not hovering.
