    1. Reviewed by Allen Fish    Jan 28, 2007

    Action: changed name from "Buteo regalis" to "Buteo lagopus "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "A gorgeous shot of an adult female Rough-legged Hawk, the clincher fieldmark for the species being the squarish black carpal (wrist) patch in the mid-wing. Adult because she's got a thick dary trailing edge to the wing, and female because she's very blonde with the thick black bellyband."
