Hard work today but nice mix of buteos, including a very early rough-leg

Hi all
Linda and I were down at Point Pelee to see the Swainson's Hawks today
(Sept 21) at Mersea Road "D" area. We ran into Sarah Rupert while she was
doing her morning check on the Swainson's Hawk around 8:45AM. She informed
us that the other one had not been seen in a few days. While we were there
at around 11:00 the other Swainson's Hawk came in and joined with the first
one. They hung in the strong SW wind, in the air above us, wheeling and
jostling one another (photos of same). Around 12:33 they got higher and
higher in the sky and drifted to the NW, until we lost sight of them. At one
point I did see them turn and hang in the wind again, still looking for food
I guess.
Now I can't say if they left at that time or not. Only tomorrow's birders
will tell if they are still around or not.
DIRECTIONS:
Mersea Road D is located approximately 1 km north of the entrance to Point
Pelee National Park. It was found at the far East end of this Mersea Road D.
