[RonEHarrin@xxxxxxx]

Bob Quillen and I spent about six hours at the Mendota Fire Tower today, 
September 10. The weather was mostly sunny with a few clouds scattered about, 
with 
a steady breeze out of the East during the morning. The going was slow for 
the hawks:
Broad-winged Hawk:     23
Sharp-shinned Hawk:     2

We also saw three "local" Common Ravens, three "local" Red-tailed Hawks, and 
a Red-headed Woodpecker. 

I will not be at the site tomorrow, September 11. If you go, send me your 
tally. Marion Finucane will be keeping the count on Sunday, September 12. I 
will 
be back on duty Monday.

Hawk Fever. Catch it.
