It was a cold and wet November day, and needless to say, there weren't a lot of hawks around for me to count. I started the count late and probably should have ended early since the mist picked back up in the last hour. Not a whole lot of bird action to report. There was a late Barn Swallow still hanging around and the Glossy/White-faced Ibis landed in Bunker Pond but quickly walked out of view soooo that was fun (kindof).
