This will be the first day Jimmy and I spend time at the Hawk watch. First Day is also about getting set up to watch. After the rain we hope to see some early moving Broad-wings. Especially since we have seen small groups lately throughout the valley. 2s and 3s in the company of Accipiters and Red-Tails or Red-Shouldereds, mounting up to meet BW's, to rush them along out of their territory. But we may see none except locals...but it's a good time to get to know them.
We went up last evening and cut grass and established "steps" on the hillside. There remains a lot of new growth off the hillside that begin to obscure our view. It may in fact mean the end of our panoramic view in a year or two. But until then, we are determined to see migrating hawks while we can.
Hope to see you there this season!
Keep looking up.
REMEMBER: THIS IS OUR RECORD SETTING YEAR!
