Rough-legged Hawk Range Map
The Rough-legged Hawk breeds from western and northern Alaska, northern Yukon and northern Labrador south to northern and southeastern Mackenzie, east to northern Quebec and Newfoundland; also from Kodiak Island and Umnak in the eastern Aleutian Islands and the Arctic Islands north to Prince Patrick, Victoria, Bylot, and southwestern Baffin Islands. It winters from south-central Alaska (casually) and southern Canada south to southern California, southern Arizona east to southern Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia, casually to eastern Texas and the Gulf Coast. The Rough-legged Hawk inhabits open tundra and mountainsides; does not inhabit forests unless there is much open ground. Essentially an open country dweller that occupies a large range in its seasonal wanderings. In winter, it prefers conifer groves for roosting and open, treeless areas for hunting.
