Today I spotted a Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk in Canon City. As rare as Harlan's are here, it would seem more likely that this would be the same bird as I found several days ago. However today's bird is more an intermediate morph while the earlier bird looked like a dark morph. This one has a white breast with dark streaking and white on it's underwing coverts. The photos of the bird I saw several days ago does not show any white in these areas and I did not see any in the field. Maybe all the strong winds we have had recently brought 2 Harlan's to Canon City this week.
I have posted several photos of today's Harlan's Hawk on my Birds and Nature blog. I also have a photo of the two Snow Geese I photographed here two days ago (not seen again today) and right below that post is a really cool video clip of orphaned walruses that are just way too cute and cuddly.
