The regal ferruginous hawk ranks as the biggest North American member of the genus Buteo, a group of stocky hawks with long, broad wings. It is even noticeably larger than the robust and familiar red-tailed hawk. This species is named for the ferruginous, or rusty, colour on the wings, back and legs of light-morph individuals. |
