Hawk Watch Thursday September 2, 2010
A much slower day on the platform with only 15 countable raptors. The American Kestrel party is still happening over Lighthouse Pond and the back of the marsh in front of the platorm providing exceptional views of the falcons foraging. With South winds all day, it was no surprise that most birds weren't moving.
