Mo Bacik and I counted hawks from the tower at Magee from 1100-1530 today: Turkey Vulture 172 Osprey 1 Northern Harrier 13 Sharp-shinned Hawk 93 Red-shouldered Hawk 3 Broad-winged Hawk 26 Red-tailed Hawk 64 American Kestrel 5 Merlin 1 The Merlin was a highlight, buzzing by the tower at eye level, as was the Broad-winged tally for the date - many of them fairly low over the tower, as well. Unbelieveable was the complete absence of Cooper's from the tally, besides the local patrolling. Warblers on the boardwalk included Pine, LA Waterthrush, and Palm, and a Blue-winged was also reported. Two Snowy Egrets were flybys.
