[va-bird] College Creek Hawkwatch

Today, May 29th, Fred Blystone and I watched as a group of 3 Broad-winged  
Hawks tied and then broke the season record of 1414 birds set in 2003. We have  
spent a few more days watching in 2005 than in 2003. Today's total of 36 birds 
 was very good for the tail end of the season. A few Bald Eagles are  still 
steadily moving north almost every day.Yesterday there were only 2 birds,  both 
Northern Harriers, the first for that species since May 2.
 
We will probably watch for a few more days, hoping to add a kite or  two.
