Soddy Mtn Hawk Watch
Hamilton Co., Tn

We had an average day at the look out today with good
numbers of Broad-winged Hawks.  The first couple hours 
started slowly followed by an hour of 101 birds followed 
by several more slow hours.  The last two hours from 4 
until 6 were very good.  We saw a total of 436 Broadie's
for the day.

Tomorrow morning we will only need 21 birds to establish
our record of 50,000 Broad-wings seen over the years.  I
feel certain this in a new record for a single hawk watch
location within the confines of Tennessee during the Fall
even if it has taken twenty one and a third seasons!

We'd love to have visitors join us tomorrow.  Most of the 
regular counters will be on site by 9AM.

Keep looking up...
