I spent a couple of hours this morning driving around the southern half of Sauvie Island looking for Rough-legged Hawks and enjoying the snowy scenery. I came up empty, but found three interesting red-tails in the Reeder Road Dike area (aka Coon Point). The first was an adult Harlan's that I initially mistook as a Rough-legged. It was perched and partially obscured, but as I got closer I noticed it had a dark head and the whitish streaky area in front was confined to the upper chest. It was all dark otherwise. When it took off, I could see it's two-toned wings and upper tail quite clearly, which had broad white vertical streaks with narrower, diffuse, darker streaks mixed in ending in a dark terminal band. An adult intermediate (possibly rufous) morph red-tail was fairly close by, but more distant. I could see it's red tail clearly in flight. Finally, perched on a phone pole a couple hundred yards to the south was an immature intermediate/dark morph that had me confused for a while before I figured out what it was. This bird was mostly dark brown, but heavily mottled with lighter spots all over. I thought at first that it might be an immature Red-shouldered, but it had a yellow eye and the tail pattern was more typical of immature red-tailed (horizontal dark bars numerous and narrow). Other than that, it was harriers, kestrels, and Bald Eagles, with a nice perched Peregrine and adult Cooper's Hawk mixed in. A single Greater Scaup was on the Multnomah Channel (it spread its wings) with a Ruddy Duck and a handful of Common Mergansers. A Red-tailed Hawk flushed a snipe from the edge of a cornfield along Oak Island Road. Good birding, Philip Kline
