There has been a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk (RLHA) hanging out at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. I saw the bird on Sunday, Jan. 22, and on each of the previous two weekends. A FWS ranger said she has been seeing this bird regularly for the last few weeks. All of the sightings have occurred on the wildlife loop road along the first quarter mile before crossing into the bison area and along the first mile inside the bison area. At first glance the perched bird might appear to be a dark morph Red-tailed Hawk, but when it takes flight the distinction becomes apparent. See photos at:
