Description
Ferruginous Hawks are the largest of the hawks soaring in North America. The adults are heavy, thick-set birds with broad powerful wings. Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawks are the only hawks whose legs are feathered down to the toes. Adult female Ferruginous Hawks may be up to one third larger than adult males. Ferruginous hawks have a natural range in colour, from very dark to light. The name "ferruginous" comes from the Latin word ferrugo, meaning rust.
Many thanks for taking time to look and comment

Wow! What a profile! Amazing capture once again. This bird definitely deserves the name "Hawk!" ...he looks like a toughie...very powerful! That beak is incredible and you did a beautiful job on capturing the colors of his feathers. :-) Excellent work Dan! V
Now this is SUPER SHOT!!! and that for i can tell you: Their practice was when they met together, to exercise themselves with fencing, wrestling, shooting and such like exercises: for I observed they did seldom hawk or hunt and very seldom or never dance or play on music, saying it was too effeminate for masculine spirits. I love HAKS, FALCONS and use to hunt them, train them, and grow them as well.. Congratulations.. !! and that is a FAV+ from you Plus BIG BIG VOTE!!!
Wow. Makes me think of Horus, comtemplating his world.
Excellent image Danny, with your usual wealth of information!!!!!! thanks, ; )

Lol,before I got to the bottom of your notes I was thinking I wanted to look up the word ferruginous,as it surely was descriptive in nature.(And also,because I wanted to see if it had anything to do with iron,which I believe is ferrous...Don't mind me,I have this thing for etmology,lol).Well 'rusty' certainly fits better than 'irony',lol. ;^) Gorgeous capture,as always Danny,and thanks for the addition of another word in my verbal repertoire.Ah yes.I better go stretch now.I'm feeling rather ferruginous,lol.-M :^)
Wow ! Gorgeous clear capture ! Fantastic details, colors and tones ! Most excellent work !!! V
