Mt. Pisgah Hawk Watch ... 10/27



Ray "Iron Man" Sharpton worked the hawk watch today for 5.5 hours.  He
reports slow but steady birding and a beautiful day spent outdoors.  I'm
jealous.

Today's totals:

Turkey Vulture -- 37
Northern Harrier -- 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk -- 2
Red-tailed Hawk -- 7
unidentifieds -- 2

The local Red-tails (2 juv., 1 adult) are still present and are often
seen "kiting" very close to the overlook, offering great close-up views
of these magnificent aerialists.
