Where's the Hawks?



Well , it was nothing short of a Dead Day at the Station today. Early morning Fog rolled out about 9-9:30 and the skies were Blue.Winds were unfavourable out of the ESE.Only Raptors were a couple of distant Red-tails and 15 Turkey Vultures. The Monarchs were steadily moving through with another couple hundred over 3 hours. Flocks of CAGO,RWBB and BLJA's were abundant. Other notables wer Ruby-throated Hummingbirds(3) and a SHRIKE Species. Given the time of year I would say a migrating Loggerhead.I did not have my Scope with me to try see coloured Leg Bands!Hopefully tomorrow will be a little Better as my 2 Boys really get a kick out of Catching and Releasing the Hawks.
