The Cast of Migrants May Take on Some New Species

If the Broad-wings did not back up because of Huricane Ian, but moved west of us instead, the season is still not over. BWs may have hustled on out, and are into Panama and beyond by now, but quite a few species have only just begun. Bill has begun to count a Red-tailed Hawk or two, as they begin their shift. And we are entering prime season for the Accipiters, The big Daddy Red-tailed and Red-shouldered hawks, or the falcons. And later into the month, numbers of Harriers should pick up as well. What is cool, some of these will fly low and over the watch if they are lucky. view the species page for a chart to see when the hawks have moved through our area traditionally - https://soddymountainhawkwatch.blogspot.com/p/raptor-species.html ______________ But for now- Here's the October 2 Report _____________
