Seen several times in last few days perched near the intersection of 
Lawrence Expressway and El Camino at the border between Sunnyvale and Santa 
Clara:  adult Red-tail, light to medium brown head (not sure about throat), 
very light chest/belly (no breast band or other significant markings), 
clear patagial markings on otherwise light wings (there may be some dark 
markings but the impression is very light), reddish tail (but not the deep 
red of a western race), back is brown but lighter than typical western, 
with some scalloping marks.  Size suggests male.   I apologize for the lack 
of precision in my description--my sightings have come thru a car window or 
while pushing a baby carriage and dodging traffic, no binoculars at 
hand--but I feel pretty clear that the bird I've seen is not the typical 
Western Red-tail! :)

Precise locations: at Lawrence border of the same Albertsons parking lot as 
the Rusty Blackbird from last year (no signs of that one today!), on a 
light post by the exit off Lawrence that runs next to that parking lot, and 
on a lightpost or sign in the parking lot of the Comp-USA, etc. strip mall 
on the other side of Lawrence, same side of El Camino.  I may not have 
another shot in daylight this week, but perhaps someone else will...
