A penetrating sound in the woods that Sibley's describes as a "piercing, thi=
n, high whistle teeteeeeee on one pitch" (piercing is an apt description) to=
ok me outside to locate the caller. It was a Broad-winged Hawk that appeared=
 very dark. It seems the dark phase does not exist in the East though. Would=
 this be a heavily marked juvenile?=20

My view was mainly of the back and upper tail. No light areas on the back an=
d the thin tail bands looked more gray than white. I also did not notice a w=
hite band on the end of the upper tail.  Note I was looking into the dappled=
 shade of the leaves at the time (7am) and the colours may have been shadowe=
d.=20

The call is worth looking up and listening to.=20
