Tom Armour, Bill Williams and I enjoyed the first warm-ish air in a while and the birds responded with the first day of decent diversity...6 species. Unlike the flights of mostly Turkey Vultures so far this month, today, February 27th, there were 2 Ospreys, a Northern Harrier, 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, a Red-shouldered Hawk and 2 Red-tailed Hawks crossing the river, in addition to 11 Turkey Vultures. There was also the first Tree Swallow at the site this season. Brian Taber College Creek Hawkwatch is a program of Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory and is located on the James River just east of Williamsburg. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
