Merlins are rare spring migrants anywhere, so Bill Williams, Fred Bystone
and I were delighted to see the first 3 of the season, at College Creek
Hawkwatch today, April 27th. True to form, one of them couldn't resist
harrassing a
Laughing Gull before speeding on past.
The 11 species today ties the daily high. Turkey Vultures have been slowing
down as more hawks appear. The season total stands at 1186.

College Creek Hawkwatch is located on the James River near Williamsburg and
