Why it matters
The Rough-legged Hawk, or *Buteo lagopus*, is named for the feathered plumage that extends down its legs to its toes, an evolutionary adaptation for surviving harsh Arctic winters. These raptors are distinct in flight for their broad, rounded wings and a slightly notched tail shape, which they use to hover while hunting over open tundra and grasslands.
