I joined an impromptu hawk watch started by Shane Blodgett and Rob Jett from Greenwood Cemetery mid day today with decent results.
They recorded a modest accipiter flight before I arrived. Once I began scanning we tallied the following; 3 Black Vulture (single group). 3 Broad-winged Hawk 1 Northern Harrier 3 Merlin 2 Kestrel 1 Red-tailed Hawk 3 Osprey Small groups of Double-crested Cormorants and Laughing Gulls were on the move as well. A stop around the Sylvan Water produced the previously reported Prothonotary Warbler as well as a nearly all white American Robin.
