[Bristol-Birds] Re: Red-tail hawk migration

Lisa,
 
I've been to Mendota about a dozen times during Oct and Nov. I never had a good 
hawk day on those occasions. It is still possible. The best thing to try is to 
time it with a weather event. One or two days after a strong system moving 
through out of the northwest is considered favorable. Now is a good time for 
accipiters. Redtails and Turkey Vultures should come later this month and into 
Nov. You could also get eagles and other hawks throughout the fall. 
 
I have had good hawk days in Oct and Nov at Hawk Mountain in PA and Cape May in

through, or when the best target date would be? Are their numbers anywhere near 
the broad-wings?> > Thanks for any tips you can share!> > Lisa
