Hello. I'm gathering records of dark morph Broad-winged Hawks in Canada
and the US as the basis for a brief presentation to the HMANA conference in
Corpus Christi in March. I know of three records from Oregon, and several
from B.C. I know of no records from Washington.
I'd greatly appreciate learning about any records you may have, as well as
additional records from Oregon and B.C.

I do not require that reports have been accepted by a records committee.
But I would like to know the age of the bird (adult, immature or
undetermined) the exact date, the location, and the names of the observers.

Thanks very much. Here's what I have from Oregon and B.C. so far.
