Rough legged Hawk or Red Tail ?
This was taken just outside the gates to Deer Flat N.W.R. 11:00am on the left hand side.
Thanks!

Re: Lake Lowell @ Deer Flat boat ramp
Male northern harrier. Older bird guide named them marsh hawks, a fitting name describing where they often hunted. Note the white rump, low flight pattern, longish tail. Females are brown to blend in as they nest on the ground often.

They are fast! Pardon the blur, didn’t have time to set my camera.

American Pipits
Had great plans for some spring-prep yard work this AM, but a morning snow put a damper on that. So, walked on down to the Snake & was treated to two breeding-plumaged American Pipits. Hadn’t seen before in the unstreaked, buffy-breast form! (As per Sibley, 2nd ed). Beautiful! An almost pinkish sheen to the breast in the proper light.
Now, back up to house & sun is breaking through. May have to do that yard work, yet!
