Ran into Mike Ostrowski around 12:50 on my way out of Blue Mash. Walked back
with him to see if we could relocate it. We found RL Hawk again (hover
hunting over the landfill), albeit a little more distant than my 1st look
around 11:40. Viewed it from the trail at the point just after you cross the
ditch that feeds into the pond closest to Zion Rd.

Also of note at Blue Mash today, a Chipping Sparrow and American Tree
Sparrow.

Hi all,
 Andy Martin just called to tell me there is a light morph
Rough-legged Hawk at Blue Mash in Montgomery Co. It was flying over
the landfill and viewed from the nature trail near the water treatment
ponds inside the fence (the ones you cannot see from outside). He has
seen it twice in the last 15 minutes or so.
