Rough-legged Hawk in Northampton County ~ February 15, 2021

Billy Weber discovered a Rough-legged Hawk yesterday near the Tatamy exit of Route 33. I didn't see it there yesterday, so I made the short drive up there today and immediately found the bird on one of the light posts at the southeast corner of the exit. It was also seen flying over the fields and on a nearby tree.

This area used to be several square miles of fields where I occasionally rode my bike as a kid in the late 1960's and early 1970's. I remember riding out there to watch them build what is now Route 33. Unfortunately, the fields are now being taken over by warehouses.
