Ferruginous Hawk

Buteo regalis

Description:

Before the elimination of bison in the West, nests of the Ferruginous Hawk were often partially constructed of bison bones and wool. The Rough-legged Hawk, the Ferruginous Hawk, and the Golden Eagle are the only American hawks to have legs feathered all the way to the toes.
