Augur Buzzard

Slideshow images 6-8 show a young Augur buzzard that hunted rodents from a perch on a dead tree near our house in IlBoru and literally chased them on the ground. The bird is commonly seen often near habitation and agricultural fields as in several of these images . In the adults note the short reddish, non-barred tail, the distinct dark trailing wing edge and the typical dark "comma" on the white wing. The last enlargement is a composite of a nest, chick in nest and the parents (male light and female dark morphs).
