There will not be a Mendota Hawk Festival this year. A new community center board was formed this year but too late to make plans. I was given assurance that a festival will be planned for 2011. The 2010 Hawk Watch is underway, coordinated by Tom Hunter. Your help is needed to assure success of this Bristol Bird Club project. Just bring your gear and show up. Tom will be there most days. I will be handling the count for September 11. Thanks. Ron Harrington Bristol, VA
