Good discussion. FYI, we do have C Black Hawk sightings including one at Clapp just a very few years ago. Hung around a couple weeks in late summer iirc. Blacks are significantly larger than Broads but I have no perspective. Broads have pale ventral secondaries so a flight pic would help. Let's hear some more.

Danny,
Disagree. Broad-winged is more likely then any of the other two.
Dark morph broadwinged in flight below. Large white tailed band
with white tail tips. Sharp curve beak like a coopers/Swainson’s
Hawk gives this away. Common black hawks have more radtailed like
beaks.
