Today was a spectacular day of raptor migration at Hawk Ridge here in Duluth! 1134 raptors were tallied today, which included 729 Red-tailed Hawks, 311 Bald Eagles, 24 Golden Eagles and 49 of those arctic-loving, fluffy Rough-legged Hawks. Rough-legged Hawks are one of my favorite birds, and I wanted to share a cool photo I took today of a fly-by immature dark morph Rough-legged Hawk. Enjoy!
