Yep, not a Golden Eagle or an Osprey...

I researched the bird from the last blog entry and think I have figured out what it is.  I believe it to be a Rough-Legged Hawk.  The photo and description in the following link matches quite well and it is a type of bird that migrates to our area from Alaska for the winter.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

It is so true that you learn something new every day, or at least I do.
