I watched hawks at Dan's Rock from 11:00am-1:00pm today and had fairly good
numbers.  There was a pretty constant flow of birds flying past the
overlook.

Black Vulture - 15
Turkey Vulture- 33
Osprey - 1
Bald Eagle- 2
Sharp-shinned Hawk- 2
Red-shouldered Hawk- 4
Broad-winged Hawk- 80! (one kettle numbering 33 birds)
Red-tailed Hawk- 5
American Kestrel- 1

Other noteworthy birds were 6 Common Ravens, 2 Black-throated Blue Warblers,
7 Black-throated Green Warblers, 2 Orange-crowned Warblers, aoond 1 Cape May
Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Northern Parula, and Common Yellowthroat.

Good Birding!
