- Comments: "Adult westbound over hawkwatch. Long pointed wings, silver secondaries, long kite tail. Distant but decent scope views and (I think) diagnostic digiscope blobs. Nice payoff for today’s stakeout!! A year and 1 day since my lifer MIKI, also at Greenwood."

- Comments: "Spotted by Julian from the hawk watch. We hustled to the west and saw the bird distantly circling above a red-tailed hawk. Julian contemporaneously reported the bird over the harbor. Identified by shape/structure and elimination of other plausible species. Long straight tail, slender wings. “Like a glider plane” -Case"

"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring." — Rachel Carson
