Wow...I never thought of it but I guess it's something we take for granted in northern MN. It's not uncommon for me to see several a day. Really cool birds. Everytime I see one up close their size always amazes me. I've seen them grab rabbits and squirrels, eat carrion on the side of the road, and actually nab swallows straight out of the air. Defineitely very powerful birds.
Cool pics
