Steve Matherly from Houston, Texas, got a couple of quick flight shots of  
the Ferruginous Hawk and has allowed me to post them on the web site. For those 
 
that might want to see this bird they might be helpful in the ID of a distant 
 flying bird.
 
In the immediate area, there are adult and immature Krider's which might  
cause some confusion and you can also enjoy a lot of dark morph Red-tailed  
Hawks, from Rufous to Harlan's (light and dark morph) that can be found in  the 
area on days birding. Also it does not hurt that there are LOTS of Sandhill  
Cranes, Western Meadowlarks, Lapland Longspurs, a few Short-eared Owls and  
tons 
of 5 species of Geese in the area you keep you entertained. 
 
The key area is off of Buck Island Road between Hambrick and 304 Highway in  
Tunica Co. Mississippi but the Ferruginous Hawk does range out.
