Ferruginous Hawk... F'sho [ Wed Dec 1 2010 1:55 PM ]
Hawks have a supra-orbital process - bone above the eye that acts like the bill of a baseball cap to help them hunt ground prey in the middle of the day. Falcons have a malar stripe - looks like a little mustache starting at the top of their bill and going down the cheek. Works like "eye-black" used by football players to reduce glare. This guy's totally got a SOP goin' on. Maybe he's just a bebe? |
