RoughLegged Hawks
Rough-legged hawks are large birds of prey known for their distinctive feathered legs, which extend all the way down to their talons. These birds have long wings and a broad, rounded tail, making them well-adapted for soaring and hunting over open terrain. Rough-legged hawks are typically found in northern regions, where they breed in the tundra and winter in more temperate areas. They primarily feed on small mammals, such as voles and lemmings, which they hunt by hovering in the air before diving down to catch their prey. Rough-legged hawks are known for their keen eyesight and powerful talons, which make them formidable hunters in their natural habitat.
