Hawks.

Hello all,
I thought maybe I was alone in my observations today, but having just spoke to
Kurt Gaskill it seems to be more widespread.
My commute into work today, at about 9:30, roughly 20-25 miles, yielded about
20 hawks. There was one red-shoulder, perhaps 12 red-tails, and the rest were
kestrels. Typically I only see about 10 hawks. Most of these birds were
either perched in trees, or actively hunting. I figure they were looking for
a little breakfast before a long flight.
Kurt reported several hawks this morning as well, including 7 red-tails over
Huntley Meadows. Makes me think I should take a run up to Snickers Gap and
see if anything is moving over the ridge.
Happy hawking,
Todd Day
