Hawkwatch, 16 September 2016
East winds made for a high-flying day for most raptors. Despite the conditions we still had great views of low-flying raptors too! Our second Red-shouldered Hawk of the season took place today as did numerous Bald Eagles passing through. Mid-day visitors were treated to the spectacle of a Bald Eagle pursuing an Osprey in hopes of a meal. After several minutes of zig-zaggin the Osprey dropped the fish and the Bald Eagle had a meal to go! It was a great day to be out hawkwatching.
