I saw the dark morph RLHA on the 25th and noted it in an eBird checklist. It was on the west side of the fields, perched in a low deciduous tree. I was working my way around the perimeter track to try to get close enough for a photo when a hunter and his dog came by and flushed it off. It did not return while I was there. It was a fun sighting given how few dark morphs there are of that species. Sounds as if it may be in the vicinity for a bit.
