The nest is very high in a tree, and I could not get a good picture of it. Soon two Rough-legged hawks started circling the owls. Here is a light morphed Rough-legged.
And here is the dark morphed Rough-legged hawk. They appeared to be a pair, but not sure. They perched is the dead trees around the owl nest and the male owl kept a good eye on them.
Just some more wildness in Idaho. Have a great week.

Nice photos, Bill, that takes a lot of patience and know-how to come up with such fine captures. The beauties of nature are always there, we just have to look around.

You captured them beautifully, Bill. I would love to see some around here.
Stunning! Just love those crystal blue skies setting off the magnificent creatures, too!
Interesting situation that for sure!
Hi there Bill, thank you so very much for all the sweet tender love and care you brought me this week. I welcomed it with both my arms to wrap it and hold it close. And here I am a little bit better already. Love you for it!
And so do I the second picture. If only I could be her. I asume that thats the lady and the darker one is the guy. You've done a great job as usual Bill. I feel free when ever I'm flying into your space.
Sweet soft hugs from me to you pall.

Hi Bill. Blue skies and great shots to compare the light and dark phase hawks. The light morph appears to have a very pale or non-existent tail band so I suspect it could be a juvenile. FAB.
Beautiful images Bill. Wow!
