Mar 17, 2019: Rough-legged Hawk

As I was rounding the SW corner of the north lake I noticed a Rough-legged Hawk perched on the roof of a mini-shelter.  The hawk flushed, flew westward along the trail, and then dropped to the ground.  The hawk rose quickly, clutching a rodent in its talons.  Then it flew to the ice (north lake's west bay) and started to devour the meal.

White-throated Sparrows are one of our Winter sparrows, although not as common as American Tree Sparrows or Dark-eyed Juncos.  Note the yellow in the lores (before the eyes), white throat, and white head stripes. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 2/26/19)
