Hello all,

After seeing a fair amount of Broad-wingeds at Manassas Battlefield earlier 
in the morning, I thought Snickers might offer a few more, even though 
Snickers is not known for its spring hawk flight.  There is no organized 
count in spring.   

I arrived at Snickers Gap at about 12:30, and was soon joined by a couple 
other people, and eventually we totaled five.  

The wind was steady, about 10-15 mph from the W and WNW.  The sky was almost 
100% clouds for most of the day, and about 50% later in the afternoon.  The 
hawk flight was modest.  

For the day:
Osprey:  10
Sharpie:  3
Broad-winged:  45
Red-tailed:  2
Red-shouldered:  1
Kestrel:  1
