[birding] Re: Possible common black hawk

[Jarod Jebousek]

This is a strange coincidence. Yesterday morning (4/13) I was driving down Greenberry Road and saw a very dark hawk.  It was facing away from me on a telephone pole as I drove toward it.  I was heading east and even against the sky I thought, "That is the darkest hawk I've ever seen around here."  I looked over my shoulder after I passed it and it appeared completely black except for a large amount of yellow at the base of the bill.  My first thought was black hawk.  I was heading to a meeting in Portland and was running late and did not have binoculars. I now regret not going back for a closer look, I called Molly but she wasn't in the area.
