Greetings from Michigan! I arrived on September 11. I'm meeting friends here from the Borrego Hawkwatch to spend a week watching Broad-winged Hawks migrate south. It is interesting to be in the Midwest again. It's been many years since my college days in Indiana and I had forgotten how different it is here. Lots of green, water bodies, and brick houses with big lawns. The weather has been pleasant and no bugs! Today I was at the watch site from about 10:30am to 3:30pm. The site is at a boat ramp at the Lake Erie Metropark. It's a beautiful location. Unfortunately we didn't see ANY Broad-winged Hawks today. We did however see the following: Great Blue Heron, Caspian Tern, Mallard, Cormorant, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Swallows, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Canada Goose, Pied-billed Grebe, and Ring-billed Gull.
I'm having a great time already, hanging out with my friends, meeting new people and enjoying nature!
