Today at 4:45 PM I saw an immature Rough-Legged Hawk on the south side of
Kuhlwein Rd at the Darby Wetlands- it was perched on a tree along the road
and flew off slowly when I pulled my car over and got out to get photos of
it.  Perhaps the wetlands here are attractive territory for this bird- this
species is apparently uncommon in this area, and this is an early date to
see one (compared to previous winter sightings).

Also around a dozen Rough-Winged Swallows were perched on the telephone
wires along Kuhlwein Rd.

Here's the eBird report with a photo-

Good birding,
