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.<br>Jarod-<br><br><br><br><table style="border-top: 1px solid black; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,san-serif;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Home/?source=EML_WLHM_GreaterGood" style="font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(1, 132, 203); text-decoration: none;"><span style="padding: 0px 24px; font-size: 8pt; color: rgb(63, 181, 85); text-decoration: underline;"></span></a><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>> From: tmanindahouse@gmail.com<br>> To: obol@oregonbirds.org; birding@midvalleybirding.org<br>> Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:28:50 -0700<br>> CC: <br>> Subject: [birding] Possible common black hawk<br>> <br>> There was a POSSIBLE COMMON BLACK-HAWK at LBCC where oak creek and 99 <br>> cross in albany.<br>> I did not see it, my step grand parents saw it and they are birders, <br>> they saw a woman watching it so it could be a pet.<br>> They are convinced it was not a dark morph rough-legged.<br>> I am going to go look tomorrow.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Tristen Gholson<br>> 541-971-9315<br>> _______________________________________________<br><br> <br><hr>The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
