Hi All:
Finally, the big buteo flight of Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks
we`ve been waiting for at Turkey Point this fall.  Marcia Whitmyre left
me a message detailing a very disappointing count for the first 2 hours
( 8 birds), then between 12 and 1 pm over 100 birds with action
continuing until 1:40.  She ended up with 258 birds, about equal numbers
of Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, with a few sharpies and some TVs
thrown in!!
YOWZA!!
