Yesterday's hawk count was slightly slower, with a flight of raptors that
ended relatively early in the day (around 3pm). A noteworthy Dark-eyed Junco
movement was observed, as these cute little guys were hanging out at the
count site throughout much of the day, in addition to the new-to-the-season
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. The photos of the sapsuckers (below), in addition
to the Red-tailed Hawk photo are some of my best shots this spring so far
:-) Relatively strong and gusty NE winds are in the works for today, with
this front collision, I'm curious what will fly by before the expected snow
this weekend!
