Jane and I made the trip up to Little Round Top in Bristol today.
Although no longer an "official" hawk watch site, it's a great location
to watch for moving hawks with a rich history of coverage by Susan
Fogleman. Unfortunately, it's a 1.5 hour drive and a 15 minute STEEP
hike to the summit....otherwise we'd be up there a lot more!
We had a great morning push of about 300 hawks in a little over 30
minutes, but the rest of the time it was quite slow. So we gave up at 1
PM after spending 3 hours up there.
Turkey Vulture 11
Osprey 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk 17
Cooper's Hawk 1
Bald Eagle 4
Broad-winged Hawk 325 A couple of nice close kettles of close to
100 birds right over the summit. Another big group far in the
distance. Most of the birds came by from about 10:30 to 11:15 then it
went quiet.
