Light Harlan's Red-taied Hawk in Canon City today

[SeEttaM .]

I spotted a Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk on the east side of Canon City late this afternoon that had a very white face that makes them ghostly distinctive.  I got some photos of it that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog with discussion of field marks that are visible in my photos.

Also saw a Spotted Towhee today and observed Curve-billed Thrashers in cholla cactus pairing up.  Had a single Evening Grosbeak come to my feeders over the week-end, unfortunately when it was snowing and little seed in the tray feeders-maybe a scout but haven't seen any again.

I was surprised yesterday to find a lingering male Williamson's Sapsucker on private property in Canon City.  Also saw both an adult and an immature Golden Eagle yesterday.
