From Mark Szantyr: 10/22/13 - Danielson -- about 1:30 PM; a Broad-winged Hawk in a glide overhead and upon closer inspection, noted that the bird appeared all dark below. The bird was in a folded wing glide with tail folded but what I could see of the ventral surface of the remiges looked to be nearly as uniformly dark as the body of the bird. I was expecting to see some contrast there but did not. The bird was certainly a Broad-wing by size and shape.
