Continuing with the alphabetical series of my "5" Star Photos we come to the Ferruginous Hawk. The Ferruginous Hawk is a winter resident here in Southern Arizona. It is mostly found in the interior Southwestern States although a sometimes summer visitor to Wyoming and Montana. It is the largest of the Buteos with a wingspan of 56 inches and weight of 3.5 pounds. The farmlands around Sulphur Springs (Southeastern Arizona) provide a multitude of rodents -- a favorite prey -- which is where I took this photo.
