The largest north American member of the hawk family, these guys can get up to 27" long, with wingspans up to 60", and weighing up to 4.6 lbs...
They are one of only 3 north American raptors to have feathers all the way down to their toes (the others are rough legged hawks (a close relative), and golden eagles)
I love finding these guys, they're one of my favorite birds to photograph, and one of the birds that got me hooked on wildlife photography, specifically raptors (the first raptor I ever photographed in the wild was one of these, actually along the same road as this one)
