Hello from the Alabama Gulf Coast! Been a while since we've posted any blogs about hawks, friends, but we're ready to get to hawkwatching, again! Had a decent few hours on Sunday, and got to the Fort at around 9:15 a.m. Even though the 9-am hour started a bit slow with only 17 birds, things started picking up the next hour with 54 birds. 11-12 a.m. saw 60 birds, when I ended the "official" count. Counted 11 species (left the data sheet at home--sorry can't break down the numbers, right this sec) that included Cooper's hawks (the most abundant), kestrels, sharp-shins, red-tail, broad-winged hawks, Mississippi kites, Northern harriers, osprey, bald eagles, merlins and even a couple of peregrine falcons. Need a good videographer/photographer to stand out there with me, but I did manage a couple of decent pics.
