Raptor Observations: Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk wowed visitors as it hovered and stooped on a chipmunk right next to the counters pit! It landed on the rocks, was unsuccessful with the catch and then perched in a nearby tree. It came back around a few hours later stooping in front of the pit.
Non-raptor Observations: Very light songbird flight, most of which were high flying over quickly. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Laurie Goodrich (<goodrich...>) Hawk Mountain Sanctuary information may be found at: http://www.hawkmountain.org/
