This is the same hawk from the December 6th. post. It was photographed today within 100 yards of the photos of December 6. Based on the in-flight photos Ryan Brady ID the hawk as an immature Rough-Legged Hawk just hatched this past summer. According to Ryan "the lack of a broad, dark trailing edge on the underside of the wings" distinguishes (my word) it as an immature . This bird has been frequenting the roadside area of Hwy 63 in the Bibon Swamp.
