RLHA on Plum Island

On our way back to Boston from Vermont yesterday Patrick and I stopped by Plum Island for a peek at some birds.  Though we had great success finding a Northern Shrike, Bohemian Waxwings and Pine Grosbeaks in VT, Rough-legged Hawks were not to be seen.  Lucky for us, this one was hunting in a field just off the road on Plum Island!

Notice the long leg feathers this bird is sporting.
