9 2011 Sept 10 Pretty Hawk Late Evening
Read MoreI think this maybe a Ferruginous Hawk....if it is...its the first one I have been able to take a picture of....
This looks like a juvenile light morph from what I can find in my books
I could be wrong on the identity...I have been before..
this link gives you some good info on the Ferruginous Hawk:

on September 12, 2011I would say you are right. Good pictures and find. Apparently there have been quite a few (ie.more than normal but not lots) on the grasslands south of Calgary around Frank Lake. If you go to Frank Lake, they have been seeing a quite a few White-faced Ibis there. It is a very interesting bird and the colours are irridescent. It is nice to catch it flying as well. You may also see another one of these.
