Hawks seen this week include: 675 Broad-winged Hawks; 1 MISSISSIPPI KITE 
(juvenile); 
10 Sharp-shinned Hawks; 7 Cooper's Hawks; 5 Osprey; 1 Merlin; 1 American 
Kestrel;
1 Northern Harrier; 3 Red-tailed Hawks; 3 Red-shouldered Hawks; and 3 Bald 
Eagles
(1 adult/2 immature)for a total of 710 Raptors. 

Next week we will be on the lookout sporadically, you may want to call Jimmy at
423-305-2766 if you plan to visit.  This past Saturday and Sunday were both 98% 
cloudy 
days. Monday 9/29 looks iffy due to predicted rain.  If rain does close us down 
on 
Monday then I suspect Tuesday and/or Wednesday will be our last 2 good days of 
significant Broad-winged Hawk numbers.  It's so late in September quite 
possible the 
big numbers have already passed us by this season.  We can always be optimistic 
though, 
you just never know, it's kinda like Forest Gump's Momma's box of chocolates...
