Kelli Neumann of Bend correctly identified Farrah as a ferruginous hawk. The word ferruginous comes from the Latin ferrum, meaning iron, and refers to the species' iron-rust colored feathers.
Thanks to those who guessed, and stay tuned for more guess-the-animal fun.
Better yet: come by for a wild mini-getaway this weekend, and meet our raptors close up!
