Here are a few pictures from the Smith Point Hawk Tower from Monday
10/7/13. The Pileated Woodpecker flew by the tower not once but twice while we
were there. Once on the bay side and then coming back to the woods on the
North side of the tower. Hawk flight that day was very good with a lot of
Broad-wings and Coopers Hawks with a few Sharpies in the mix.
Here at home by Monday afternoon our Hummingbird numbers were maybe down to
3-4. There were probably 25-30 that morning early. This morning we are
back up to maybe 9-10. I looked outside early this morning in time to see a
Carolina Wren sitting on our wood swing. As I was sitting watching and
photographing the hummers this morning we had a new yard bird show up. The
first
American Kestrel showed up in the top of a tree. The poor little guy was
assaulted by at least 5 Blue Jays and as it flew away it was followed by
three of them.
