[EBB Sightings] Sylvia's sapsucker, and other feathered wonders

Sounds like my "rough-legged hawk" was more wishful thinking than nailed
ID; Mark Rauzon pointed out that it could be a juvie RT, and in fact,
that's a closer fit.

"...As I was watching them, another mystery raptor flew
by. This bird was low in the canyon (below the level of the raven's
roost) and was all-over light brown on its back and tail (at least while
illuminated by the full sun). As the hawk beat its wings, I noticed
large white patches towards the wing-tips. The closest match that I
could come up with was a rough-legged hawk. Again, I welcome any
confirmation or refutation of this possible sighting."
