This was a good week at College Creek Hawkwatch on the James River near Williamsburg, as temperatures turned much milder. Since the last post on the 24th, we have tallied 178 hawks and vultures, over 6 days, with today, March 31st, the nicest weather, but the least migration, with only 5 birds and virtually none of the many Ospreys and Bald Eagles we usually see milling about anmd fishing, if not actively migrating. We are apparently in between waves of migrants, as even the Tree Swallows were not very numerous today. Our total of 803 represents the second-highest February/March total and is ahead of last year's pace when a new season record of 1445 was set. Other migrants have included Rough-winged Swallows, Great Egrets, Yellow-throated Warblers and hundreds of Double-crested Cormorants. On March 27th, we found a White M Hairstreak butterfly, rarely seen around here. Brian Taber Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory
