Rock Canyon Birds: Hawk Flight, etc.



Hey,

I walked up to Rock Canyon this afternoon (Oct 27) after class. In the strong SE winds and overcast conditions I was surprised to see a fairly decent hawk flight. From about 2:30-4:15 pm I saw the following hawks from the entrance to rock canyon:

Red-tailed Hawk: 32 (incl. 3 dark morph)
Golden Eagle: 3
Bald Eagle: 1 ad.
Sharp-shinned Hawk: 3
Unid: 4

Also near the entrance of the canyon were many Am. Robins (~75), Ruby-crowned Kinglets (9) and a Townsend's Solitaire.

cheers,
