The hawkwatch, on the James River, sponsored by Coastal VA Wildlife
Observatory, is off to a better than average start, with 500+ birds through
March. The majority, as usual, are Turkey Vultures, but this week saw the
expected shift toward American Kestrels and other species. Ten species have
been recorded in 27 days so far, about the halfway point of the season. Last
year's total was 14 species and 938 birds.
If there are other spring sites out there, please let me know your progress.
