I was out there yesterday also looking for the Harris' Hawk without luck. 
Initially what appeared to be a Harlan's far in the distance was observed 
near the intersection of Elray and Fagerquist. Later after that hawk swooped 
in with a couple of Caracara and a couple of what I believe were Chihuahuan 
Ravens, I was able to capture a couple of pics of it
