Dark Rough-legs are one of my favorite birds and I've noticed there seem to be more around this year. I took a quick look at my eBird sightings for these and in addition to the one on Burdick Hill, I've seen dark birds multiple times at Freese Rd, Mt Pleasant, Midline Rd. and along Buffalo Rd in Caroline. Most recently, there were two on my drive to the lab this morning, one along Freese and one on Mt Pleasant. Great winter to be out looking for hawks, Jeff
