The Saturday morning Birdwalk began at 11:00 and we birded until 3:15. It was a spectacular day. The broad winged hawks started moving early and we had the good fortune to see them flying single file and then start to kettle up and rise on a thermal until they were almost out of sight. Quite a sight! An immature Bald Eagle, Osprey and Cooper's hawks also passed overhead. It was hard to decide if we should count hawks or look for warblers so we did a little of both. With the morning winds from the north we had excellent birds!
