I drive Hwy 100 every day and have often noticed this dark hawk that Steve mentioned, so today I finally went out to try and get some photos. I had to briefly pull over on the on ramp to 100 SB so could only get off a few shots, but hopefully these are good enough to identify if it's a Harlan's hawk.
