[Ontbirds]Broad-winged Hawk, Heidelberg

[Carol & Jim]

Hey Birders,

 

We had a single adult Broad-wing fly low over our yard in Heidelberg this
afternoon. There were quite a few birds flying over while Mike and I were
outside, between 1-2:30.

Also seen were 16 Red-tail's, 4 Cooper's, 1 Sharp-shinned, 1 N. Harrier, 5
Turkey Vultures, 1 Common Loon and a quite a few Tree Swallows.

 

Also of interest, particularly for local birders was 1 Common Tern at Laurel
Creek on April 7th (only 2nd time we've seen this species in the region,
first record was April 14, 2006, at the same location). Other birds seen in
the area since Monday have included; 2 N. Goshawks (both today, in different
locations), Chipping Sparrow and a few Savannah Sparrows.

 

If anyone wants directions, just email me.

 

Good Birding!
