Red Headed Woodpecker- 2, flying through the clearing as pretty as could
be.

Once again, Sharpies predominate the count, still waiting for that huge
BW flight.  Significant flight of Ospreys today, most in 10 o`clock hr.
Also watched a prolonged skirmish between a most pugnacious Kestrel,
uttering little Kestrel noises, and a Sharpie.
Between 9 - 11: 20 am
Osprey- 16
Northern harriers- 2, both imm.
Sharpies- 45
Coops- 5

afternoon work keeps me hopping.
