On Saturday Aug. 2 I also saw a Rough-legged Hawk along I-15 between Pocatello and Blackfoot. Anyone have an explanation why they would be here this early? Â ...
Not that an early August record of Rough-legged Hawk in Idaho is impossible, but we're getting close with yesterday sightings.... Please do not construe my...
