It does seem to be a slow winter for Rough-legs. I'm out in roughie
country a lot around Shoreham, Bridport, and Addison and I've only seen
two so far all winter. Red-tails seem to be around in their usual
numbers, though my outlook may be biased since we have one that's been
hanging around our house that I see frequently.
Northern Harriers also seem to be down this winter. I've seen a few, but
not as many as other years.
I've seen a small handful of Cooper's Hawks in recent weeks, but no
sharpies since October. That seems pretty typical to me -- not exactly
rare, but not "lots" either.
