The Harlan's was photographed on the 18th but wouldn't cooperate today.
I have found this bird twice in the same tree so it seems to be hanging
around.  This bird is located just north/northeast of the tower at
Monkey's Eyebrow on Rudolph road.  Travel about 3/4 mile down Rudolph
road and there is an old milk barn and grain silo on the right.  The
bird has been seen in a large oak tree on the opposite side of the road.
There was also a dark morph western type redtail in this general area a
couple of weeks ago.
