Yesterday I birded around the La Junta area to do some surveying for the Greater Backyard Bird Count in areas poorly covered. I found what I believe are two Harlan's Hawks at the feedlot near Rocky Ford, a location I have previously reported here as a good spot for Harlan's. One of the hawks looked like a dark intermediate Harlan's with features commonly seen including some white on face and body. The other hawk was jet black, with limited whitish lores and no other white on face, no white on body with the exception of some white feathers on nape that appeared to be underfeathers as they showed only when the wind blew the feathers up. I have uploaded photos of this hawk, which I believe is a dark morph Harlan's onto my Birds and Nature blog <http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com> and would appreciate some feedback on that id.
