Saw the bird briefly a few minutes ago on Eastern side of running deer and flying northeast towards frontage rd.

Photos revealed it was a dark harrier in bad light rather than the hawk. Sorry for any inconveniences.

After searching for six hours, at 1:00 p.m. Peter Gent and I relocated the Harris's Hawk from the Running Deer parking lot on the south side of E. Prospect Road. It was soaring just east of the houses on S. Summit View Dr. and west of the frontage road for I-25.

We were able to observe it for about three minutes.

The Harris's Hawk is currently perched in a tree about 250 m from the Running Deer Natural Area parking lot on the south side of Prospect Blvd in Co try Collins.
