This morning I came across a Broad-winged Hawk, perched in the very top of a forest tree, less than 100' from a previous year's nest, and calling repeatedly.
I wonder if it's true, as my own very limited experience suggests, that wherever one might be, the local Broadwings will arrive in the vanguard of the migratory wave. I also saw some kind of fracas among three very vocal Pileated Woodpeckers. It went on for several minutes, but I couldn't determine the sexes... -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
