My first Rough-legged of the season was seen today on Nauvoo Road near Bundysburg Road in Geauga County. Last year this area held maybe 6 of these beautiful hawks. The one today gave us a great show of hovering high above the fields then dropping rapidly to catch its prey. We only had a few minutes to watch and the bird was too far for good photos. I was able to clearly see the large amount of white under the wings and white on the head. Also saw a Kestrel perched atop a tree in the same field.
