Hi -
I agree with Tom - nice photos and also very useful.
This would be an easy bird to pass off as a Rough-legged Hawk, a mistak I have
probably made in the past. In two of the inflight photos it is possible to tell
that it has unfeathered tarsi (lower legs/feet) ruling out Rough-leg (and
Ferruginous). At that point the possibilities for a big buteo this pale come
down to "What kind of Red-tail?" where the whitish tail leads toward Harlan's.

Sure looks like a light phase Harlanâs to me. Nice photos, Michael.

These are the photos I was able to obtain of the red-tailed hawk seen East of
Tillamook on Highway 6. Sorry that the pictures aren't better but the bird was
at distance. I have other views if needed. We agree with Will Risser who first
saw this bird that it is consistent with a juvenile, light morph Harlan's, but
are eager to learn if others have different opinions.
