Hi all, Jay McGowan and I (later joined by Kevin McGowan) did an hour long hawkwatch, that Ken referred to, at Sapsucker Woods yesterday. We had a few BROAD-WINGED HAWKS, several SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, AMERICAN KESTRELS, NORTHERN HARRIER, BALD EAGLE, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, and COMMON LOON and other migrants.
