Greetings
Spent a few hours at the hawk watch on South Mountain.  Had 36 migrant birds, also about 4 local Red-tails

11:15-12:00
Red-tail 3
Red-shouldered 1
Northern Harrier 1
Sharpie 1
Bald Eagle 1 imm 11:57 

12:00- 1:00
Red-tail 8
Red-shoulder 2
Sharpie 3
Bald Eagle 2 both adults at 12:25 and 12:30
Peregrine 1 12:45

1:00-1:50
Red-tail 5
Coopers 3
Northern Harrier 1
Sharpie 1
Kestrel 1

Lots of Black and Turkey Vultures, 2 Common Raven, and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker  Not much else.  Skies were hazy and bright so it was hard to see, forgot my hat and knew I was getting sunburned so didnt stay too long. Winds were pretty steady from the west probably around 10 mph a few higher gusts.
