Howdy all, Well there were a few birds yesterday at the point yesterday! Jason's countable raptors were: Today's Count: 25 Mississippi Kite-4 Sharp-shinned Hawk-2 Cooper's Hawk-3 Broad-winged Hawk-4 Swainson's Hawk-9 Red-tailed Hawk-1 White-tailed Hawk-1 American Kestrel-1 The complete blog entry is here: http://smithpointhawkwatch.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/diversity/ Also I'd like to clear something up. You can receive blog entries by e-mail by simply going to the blog once and clicking on the "follow" button that is at the top of the page next to "Smith Point Hawk Watch". From then on you will receive an e-mail with the blog entry every time something is posted. And finally - the t-shirts are here! They feature a Swallow-tailed Kite photo by Tony Leukering with his signature below. I'm sure everyone will want one! You can pick yours up at the tower from Jason for $16 or buy one from our website here: http://www.gcbo.org/default.aspx/act/catalog.aspx/category/GCBO+Shirts/brows e/null/MenuGroup/Home.htm If you get one from the website they are listed as $15 because it will automatically add tax and you'll have to pay postage.
