There was finally some decent flying weather this afternoon for the Broad-winged Hawks. I would like to express my deep appreciation to Shane Williams and his mother Deborah Williams for graciously agreeing to conduct the count after I had to leave at 1:45. They were joined later by Ken Turner who helped count as well. Thanks to all of you. Tom Laughlin brought some of his students from ETSU to the fire tower and there were a few hawks flying while they were there. The following is a combined report from Shane and I.
