Ferruginous Hawks were known as Rusty Squirrel-Hawks back in the 1800′s and they exist in both a light and dark morph.

At the opposite bank, a Eurasian Red Squirrel is checking the poplars, climbing each one for a metre or two, sniffing – I guess, and then jumping down to the next one.

Up to 100 kg – possibly a female, my guide and a bear researcher from the wildlife charity Callisto, Yannis Tsanakis, tells me.
