Not 5 minutes after leaving school at 2:45 today, I looked up. I was pleasantly
stunned to see a kettle of about 250 Broad-winged Hawks kettling above 67st and
Broadway! A follow-up hawkwatch was performed from Belvedere Castle in Central
Park, where I noted the following:
Turkey vulture 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk 22
Cooper's Hawk 1
Broad-winged Hawk--492 (not including B-way birds), in kettles varying in size
from 10-120, with several individuals as well.
Northern Harrier 1
American Kestrel 10 (plus 2 more locals)
Merlin 1
Looking up is fun,
