This was the next to last day for Fall Broad-winged Hawk Migration
at our lookout.  There is only a trickle of hawks still passing
the lookout.  Late in the day we did have a grouping of 9 Broad-
winged Hawks pass over.

Seen today were 15 Broad-wings; 2 Northern Harriers; 1 Adult Bald
Eagle; 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk and our first Red-tailed Hawk for this
season. Red-tails, in our area, don't usually start to migrate until
November.  This hawk was very high and sailed across the sky from
north to south and never flapped as it disappeared from sight.

Counters/visitors today were:  George Parsley from Dalton who made
a return visit after 10 years.  Starr Klein who came up for the first
time this season; Clay Seneker; Bill Haley and Jimmy & Cynthia.

Keep Looking Up!
