In response to Ron Hoff and Terry Witt:  The hawk that Bonnie Johnson, Judy
Newsome and I observed along Ninemile Crossroad on Bledsoe county on January
12 was a classic dark morph Rough-legged Hawk.  We observe the bird in
flight; the slight dihedral, long wings, white upper-wing patch, dark
terminal band against a light undertail, and dark uppertail were all seen
clearly.  I think it is possible a dark Red-tail could be in the area.  I
know one was seen every winter for several years around the Johnson farm in
Sequatchie County.  Which as the hawk flies is not that far away. So dont
beat yourselves up too much!
