Subject: Hawk sighting on 520

While taking the exit on my motorcyle off of 520 Eastbound to West Lake
Sammamish, I happened to notice what appeared from the limited look I got,
to be a very large Red-Tailed Hawk perched atop one of the tall lights.
I'm not positive it was a red-tailed, though, as it's chest/breast was
abnormally light colored for most of the red-tails I've seen (granted while
I've seen a lot, they were all out East), and as I said, it seemed quite
large even for a red-tail. It looked more like a coopers, but it would
have been huge for a coopers. I'm guessing it was just a light-colored
red-tail, but it was large.
