Gordy Adamski was on hand to officially kick off our 27th fall season at
Rockfish Gap Hawk Watch. The first raptor of the season, an American
Kestrel, came through at 9:56 a.m. Unfortunately, due to major computer
problems, I was unable to get mass mailing sent out to our friends and
volunteer counters. As of today I'm just now getting back on the air with
web and email. My files stored on an off-site server are still
inaccessible.
The updated signup sheet can be found at our website:

We are actively seeking volunteer counters. Anyone interested in learning
more or willing to sign up please check out our website. Contact
information is provided.
Two raptors make for a very long, slow day.
Other sightings included Tree and Barn Swallow
Yellow Warbler
