Hi All:
In case anyone can`t tell, Red-shoulders are my favourite hawk!!  Very
little breeze @ 9:00, picked up nicely to near moderate when I quit at
11:20, wind out of NW, mostly clear skies( 25 % cloud cover ).
Red-shoulder- 22
Sharpie- 7
Harrier- 1 imm.
Bale Eagle- 1 each of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year.
Coops- 6
Tails- 27
The bulk of these numbers occured in a 30 minute time span, between 9:45
and 10:15.  What a glorious sight, it`s what we live for, isn`t it?
Others
Palm Warblers- 2
Bluebirds- A flock of 50+ stopped briefly on what I now call " the
bluebird tree " in the meadow.  It is a honey locust, they seem drawn to
it.
Large flocks of waxwings, at least 100+.
