Today was a great day for raptors at Guesses Fork. I saw an immature
Broad-winged Hawk that was calling as it soared above me. Ed and I saw
two mature Broad-wings in that area a couple of weeks ago. I also saw
a Sharp-shinned Hawk that was molting; it was carrying what looked
like an unfortunate bird in its talons. I saw my resident Red-tailed
Hawk again, the fifth time in the same 100-yard area. I saw it four of
the five times sitting on a low branch beside the trail. Needless to
say, I have gotten great looks at this magnificent bird.
Other birds included a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Phoebes, numerous
Peewees, a Tree Swallow, Field Sparrow, and Indigo Buntings.
While studying VERY early this morning, Ed heard a Lousiana
Waterthrush singing in our yard. The warbler drew him outside where he
also heard a Great Blue Heron calling, and then he saw it flying low
over the yard.
