[TN-Bird] Mendota Hawk Report for September 22

Hi Hawk Watching Fans:
Here is the report from the Mendota Fire Tower for September 22, 2004. The 
Year-to-date totals are in parentheses. The Mendota Fire Tower, elevation 3020, 
is located atop Clinch Mountain, on the border between Washington and Russell 
Counties in VA, about 3 miles north of Mendota, VA. The site was manned from 
9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. but no hawks were seen until 11:45 a.m., just before the 
arrival of fall. 

Broad-winged Hawk:     256 (4096)
Sharp-shinned Hawk:      - (10)
Cooper's Hawk:               1(5)
Am Bald Eagle:               - (5)
Goshawk:                       - (1)
Am Kestrel:                    - (2)
Red-shouldered Hawk:     1 (2)

The weather: Skies were clear with good visibility, but increasing haze. 
Temperature ranged from 49F to 82F There was a light, but warmer breeze from 
the 
East, southeast. High skies again made it hard to see hawks, but today we had a 
lot of "eyes" helping out: Greg Church and seven ecology students from 
Tusculum College, Steve Hopps, Barbara Kingslover, Camille Kingsolver, and Amy 
Redfern from Meadowview, VA; Fred Crabtree, Ken Hopkins, Bob Light, John 
Dillow, 
Tom Zollman, Bill Peters, and Chad Peters from Kingsport, TN; Randy Fallin, 
Lori 
Kizer, and Larry Kizer from Mountain City, TN. 

Hawk Watching: Catch the Fever. Come see for relief.
