National Bird Day - Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis)

It's #NationalBirdDay, and I'm utterly captivated by this Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis) - a truly regal #bird. It's the largest of North American #hawks — with a unique gray head, rich, rusty (ferruginous) shoulders and legs, and gleaming white underparts 💛💛💛 #raptors #birdsofprey #birdsofinstagram #wildlifephotography #NatureIsBeautiful #nature #wildlife @parks4all #FEHA #GGRO @nationalparkservice @goldengatenps
