About 11:00 A.M. I observed a bird which I believe to be either a Harlan's or an intergrade between a Harlan's and Western Red-tail hawk. The location was on CR 93 north out of Morrison just below Red Rocks Exit No. 2.
Description while perched: Dark brown head with brown eye Dark brown breast with some white mottling in the middle of the breast. Rufous barred(like a Cooper's hawk underneath) leggings, lower belly and undertail coverts. The underneath of the tail was an off white/gray with a rufous shaded subterminal band. In flight the bird showed dark underwing coverts with light (gray) remiges. The top of the tail was mostly rufous like a typical Red-tail.
