In addition to the light morph juv Swainson's Hawk, I saw what I think was an adult dark morph Red-tailed Hawk this morning. This was an adult Red-tailed Hawk (i.e., red tail) with completely blackish body plumage. It was along the edge of Fresh Kills, just east of Rte. 440 and a little south of Victory Boulevard.

However I just saw it soaring with 2 Red-tails from the FedEx parking lot on Richmond Avenue. Google Dick's Sporting Goods on Richmond Avenue and bird was seen soaring over landfill basically across from there. No access to landfill and far from good views but the bird was seen distantly. Bring a scope and good luck.
