Well on these nice days right when I get home from work I grab the chair and hit the driveway and start looking up.. Today I had a kettle of 6-7 adult Red-tailed Hawks with about 3 Shins, later at least two more Shins fly over, 1 Turkey Vulture, and I had one Cooper's Hawk down low chasing the Grackles around.. More of these were a mile high in clear blue sky, if it wasn't for my HR experience you would have NEVER spotted them.. This was just from about 17:15 to 18:00 tonight.. In the last few days I've had about 4 Coop's go by my yard on their way north.. Also I had a female Northern Harrier working the open field on Co. Rd. 101 just north of Hwy 55 on the undeveloped east side of the road just past the curve.. -- Andrew Longtin Corcoran (Hennepin Co.)
