Raptors in a snowstorm

I wanted to see what the hawks did in a snow storm. Not much different than their normal activity, so far as I can tell. They puff up more. Tend to stay closer to the tree trucks, possibly. But the weather really doesn't seem to bother them.

Love your pictures. We had a hawk visitor in our yard, but not sure what kind it was. Banded tail and yellowish under the wings.
Big bird. Very unusual to see one within a few feet of our window.

I'm glad you liked the shots. Did you get any pictures of the hawk in your yard?
