| Beautiful Sky but no Broad-winged Hawks Today |
Today was a beautiful day and our first day as a complete group - Borrego hawkwatchers together in Michigan. The weather was still not conducive to Broad-winged migration. But we did see: Gull, Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture, Cooper's, Cedar Waxwing, Great Blue Heron, Caspian Tern, Egret, Harrier and Peregrine. This was the first recorded migrating Peregrine for the Hawkwatch this year!(I've learned how to add links, so if you are interested, click on blue type). The Peregrine flew by very close and we got a great look at this beautiful bird. In addition to the birds we also saw several species of Dragonflies and Butterflies. And a very cute Woodchuck!
Rain is predicted for tomorrow and we are hopeful that the wind and weather conditions will encourage our much anticipated Broad-winged Hawks to migrate and fly right overhead!
We ended the day with a great dinner in a Middle Eastern restaurant in Dearborn and also delicious homemade ice cream!
