FRIDAY HAS BIG POTENTIAL!!!

This is the e-mail I've been waiting to see!

 

"Jimmy;

 

I’m off tomorrow, Fri., Sept. 28, and I plan to be on the hawk lookout all day.

 

When this front moves off to the east, I expect we might have a HUGE hawk flight. It has been several years since we’ve had this many rainy days in September to get the hawks backed up! I suspect that when we get some clearing the “dam will break” and all the Broad-wings that have been trapped to our north will come streaming through. And it won’t just be Broad-wings. I suspect there could be an excellent species mix. Now I’m just keeping fingers crossed that the weather cooperates! Unless it is raining, I’ll be out there to see what comes by.

 

Rockfish Gap, VA had an unbelievable day yesterday, Sept. 26, with a final total of 10,431 total hawks. This included: 15 OS, 16 BE, 3 NH, 192 SS, 16 CH, 3 RS, 10,154 BW, 2 RT, 2 GE, 14 AK, 2 ML, 12 PG. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous of the hawk flights they have experienced there this year. Simply unbelievable numbers!

 

I’m still doubtful that we get all the Rockfish birds at Soddy Mountain. Tammy King said they think they get many of them at Caesar’s Head, South Carolina, and their usually big numbers might support that. I’d settle for a nice percentage of what they saw yesterday. There should be enough to go around.

Calling all hawk lovers and guests! Come if you can. We seldom have opportunities with this kind of potential. NO Guarantees! Just high hopes. And a need for eyes to the Skies!

 

Tomorrow's a great day TO

KEEP LOOKING UP!!!!
