I was installing some new blinds and when I drilled into the framing above the window my drill bit had a darker color wood dust on it. Other places I have drilled at the dust is the standard wood color but this was darker and sticky. Any idea why?

Since you mentioned it was sticky, You probably drilled through a knot in the wood or hit a wood sap pocket. If the screws go in tight, you shouldn't have a problem.
