Bottoms Up!

            Rough-legged Hawk (Buteo lagopus) - Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia

A rough-legged hawk catches and devours a vole near the Lawrencetown Beach. I do not use bait. The rodents are plentiful on these beaches and dunes. The snowy owls are close by for the same reason, and of course the harriers drop in from time to time. This was taken on a piece of ice on the water. Fortunatly he flew close enough to the shore that I could get a good look. 

Thanks for visiting
