On Thursday I decided to keep track of the raptors that I saw as I drove through the Metro area. I counted 22 Red-tailed Hawks in 15 different cities in the Metro area. All but two were along the highway. Almost every major intersection had a pair. I missed several pairs that I have been seeing regularly, but were unable to located zipping through at highway speed, in traffic, and concentrating on my job. All but one were perched. In addition I found a Bald Eagle on a tree on the shore of the Mississippi.
