Shortly after lunch, I noticed a patch of blue over the house, went outside and saw about 6 TURKEY VULTURES soaring about, so grabbed raincoat, scope, etc. and headed for the open field opposite. The "hole" was not large, but I was rewarded by seeing 3 BROADWING HAWKS rising up in it. They kettled quickly and were soon above the lower gray clouds and were gone from sight. Shortly after this the "hole" closed and rain returned. Tomorrow looks better for scads of broadwings.
