Along Shindagin Hollow Road (not in "the basin") a raptor briefly landed in
a somewhat distant tree accompanied by a crow. The hawk appeared to be
slightly larger than the crow. I could only see the back and that not very
well. At one point I got a glimpse of a broad, dark band on the tail, and
the tail appeared short in comparison to the wings, but it could have been
optical. In flight it gave me the impression of being longer tailed. While
it was perched, I heard two Broad-wing type whistles. I couldn't see the
face of the bird to tell if the whistles were coming from the bird, though,
and there were Blue Jays in the area.
Other birds of note included a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH on Leonard Road and
another on Shindagin Hollow Road. Also along Shindagin Hollow Road was a
singing WINTER WREN and two YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS. A pair of WOOD DUCKS
flushed from the water at the bottom of the hollow.
