Ferruginous Hawk
buteo regalis
The Ferruginous Hawk is the largest of North America's Buteos, radiating power and elegance across the open prairies and scrublands of the West. Named for its rust-colored plumage, this spectacular raptor is a master of the grasslands, often seen soaring high above or patiently perched on fence posts. Unlike many other hawks, its legs are completely feathered down to the toes—an adaptation that helps insulate it against chilling winds and potentially protects it from bites during struggles with prey.
生息地: Found in wide-open country, including dry grasslands, shrub-steppes, deserts, and agricultural fields of western North America.
外見
This large, broad-winged raptor features a classic light-morph look with a pale head, pristine white underparts, and rich, rust-brown shoulders and back. In flight, their wings exhibit brilliant white patches on the upper surface and a distinct, dark V formed by their feathered legs. Some individuals display a dramatic dark morph, covered in deep chocolate and rufous tones, but all retain the signature wide, yellow gape that stretches back to the eyes.

おもしろい事実
During nesting season, they may build massive nests up to 3 feet across and 3 feet deep, sometimes incorporating unusual objects like plastic, barbed wire, and bones.
It is the largest hawk in North America, often mistaken for an eagle due to its massive size and soaring style.
Unlike most other hawks, its legs are completely covered in feathers all the way to its yellow feet, a trait shared with only two other North American raptors: the Rough-legged Hawk and the Golden Eagle.
