The dark red-tailed hawk discussed a few months ago is still hanging around Hwy 100 and 77th St. Now that the snow has melted, it's using more perches so is harder to locate. I noticed it perched on a light post while I was at the car wash, so went home and got my camera. It's tough finding a good vantage point for photos because the hawk is shy, and the amount of traffic around there. I managed to get this shot of it on the ground, right across the frontage road from the Shell station. The hawk seems to like this small field. After it left the field and perched on the light post again, I watched it for a while, and saw it fly off to the northeast.
