Observation details
Observed two hawks in flight picking up over the extreme east side of YVR where Ferguson Road bends. One was a clear RTHA and the other was something much sleeker and had a prominent dihedral. Initial thoughts were either dark morph RLHA or SWHA by gestalt. I quickly grabbed the camera and snapped some shots as it picked up with the RTHA gaining height rapidly. RTHA tried to chase it briefly, but SWHA was a not phased. Photos show sleek long wings that have a pointy tips. Appears to be 4 fingers rather than 5 and does not have dark wrists. Top view briefly revealed uniform dark upperparts and tail, lacking white at base of RLHA.
