Re: [cayugabirds-l] Rough-legged Hawk Dark Phase

2014-03-04 Thread Jeff Gerbracht
Dark Rough-legs are one of my favorite birds and I've noticed there seem to
be more around this year.  I took a quick look at my eBird sightings for
these and in addition to the one on Burdick Hill, I've seen dark birds
multiple times at Freese Rd, Mt Pleasant, Midline Rd. and along Buffalo Rd
in Caroline.   Most recently, there were two on my drive to the lab this
morning, one along Freese and one on Mt Pleasant.
 Great winter to be out looking for hawks,
Jeff

 I've been looking for ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS on Burdick Hill Road ever since
 Mark Chao saw them there in mid-February and I occasionally see a light
 phase one flying over the field sitting in a tree on the south side of the
 road as he described. Today as I drove by at 2: 35 PM, I did a double take.
 The Rough-legged sitting in the tree today was definitely a dark-phase.
