i headed up to hook mt. in nyack this morning to open the spring hawk watch season. even at this early date i had 4 red shoulders, 2 coopers hawks, 3 sharpshins and a harrier moving north from 9:30-12:15. in addition were the usual local black and turkey vultures, red tails and peregrine, plus 3 ravens chasing each other around the entire time. things should start picking up in the next couple of weeks, with the peak numbers in mid April when the broadwings move through. if you go the trail is still ice/snow in some spots. steve sachs white plains
