12/16 Hwy 100 & I-494 ~4:45pm Last night while driving on I-494 at dusk I saw a large white raptor fly to perch atop one of the large lights on the south side of the intersection of Hwy 100 & I-494 at dusk about 4:45. I only had a two second view of what I assumed was the local Red-tailed Hawk. But, I was immediately troubled by teh hawk going to a hunting perch so late in the day. The very light colored bird had round wings tips and did not flair his tail when he landed. I was unable to take the time to check out the bird. It was probably a red-tail, but if you are in the area, I suggest checking out the light poles and surrounding buildings. A snowy over wintered in the immediate area a few years ago.
