Is this a Ferruginous Hawk?

Apologies for the IQ -- just shot it for ID from a distance and then it took off. It was in the flat, dry sagebrush and hay farming region of eastern Oregon, last week.

Yes it is. Nice find.

Yep! Would love to see a wild one.

Thanks guys! Also found a Prairie Falcon (with even worse pictures, into the sun). Went to look for Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles but didn't see even one.
