As I spotted this Harlan's Hawk this mid-day in Canon City perched in a cottonwood adjacent to the Arkansas River. Just as soon as I got my car in position and put my camera with long lens on it, it appeared took off (I was across the river a good 150 feet, but maybe responding to a long object pointed at it as it may have experienced if someone shot a rifle at it). I got a quick photo of it perched (and looking towards me) then taking off as shown here. It appears to be a dark morph Harlan's, mostly blackish with white or pale gray rectrices and wide blackish terminal band on tail. More photos to follow. SeEtta
