kdoty Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We were leaving Rowe Sanctuary in Kearney, NE at 10:30 AM on March 19, 2021. We saw this beauty fly across the road and land on this phone pole. It stayed there for about 3 minutes before flying off. We felt it looked smaller than the Red Tailed Hawks we had seen. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
