["Robert" <robt123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Monday 10-31-05 at 4pm, we set up our spotting scope in the middle of a 
field in Shelby Farms Park in Memphis TN. Within minutes we saw 1 Cooper's 
Hawk dive and swoop, chasing a smaller bird who got away, 1 Red Tailed Hawk 
park himself on a limb, and 3 Rough Legged Hawks sitting on posts or 
standing on the ground. Autumn is the time for raptors.

Good Birding !
