Buteo regalis
Perched birds have a white breast and body with dark legs. The back and wings are a brownish rust color. The head is white with a dark streak extending behind the eye. The wing tips almost reach the tip of the tail.
They inhabit arid and semiarid grasslands in North America.
Lifer for me :) Seen at Gene Howe WMA.

So jealous. I need more FEHA spottings in my life, with pictures like this.
Beautiful! We get lots of Ferrug's here in CO in the winter...they'll migrate north in the spring. Great series!
