I joined an impromptu hawk watch started by Shane Blodgett and Rob
Jett
from Greenwood Cemetery mid day today with decent results.
They
recorded a modest accipiter flight before I arrived. Once I began
scanning we
tallied the following;
3 Black Vulture (single group).
3 Broad-winged
Hawk
1 Northern Harrier
3 Merlin
2 Kestrel
1 Red-tailed Hawk
3
Osprey
Small groups of Double-crested Cormorants and Laughing Gulls were on
the
move as well.
A stop around the Sylvan Water produced the previously
reported
Prothonotary Warbler as well as a nearly all white American
Robin.
Ebird list with photos can be viewed
here.
