An update on the Corpus Christi Hawkwatch(at Hazel Bazemore County Park). We opened on August 1st this year(instead of August 15th). Migrant Raptors tallied: Mississippi Kites = 75 Peregrine Falcons = 3 Broad-winged Hawks = 2 Swainson's Hawks = 1 Merlin = 1 Sharp-shinned Hawks = 1 American Kestrels = 1 Total = 84 The Sharpie and Kestrel in particular were early-season surprises. No Swallow-tailed Kites yet; hope to change that today. A total of 73 Bird species on our overall Park List for the 2014 Season. We are doing an Anhinga count this year as well - we currently sit at 1479 tallied. Hazel Rocks...Come on down Swallow-tailed Kites!
