I photographed this hawk today off Eide Road in Stanwood. I was surprised at
how dark the bird looked, in speaking with some birders and in looking at my
Hawk book, I think this is a Juvenile Rough Legged, Dark Morph. However, since
I really am pretty novice at this, I think it best to ask.

Thanks in advance.
