Soddy Mtn Hawk Watch

On the ride up to the lookout this morning Cynthia and I both
were feeling drained.  The 100% blue skies were not much of a  
morale booster either.  We had decided that if the hawks didn't
cooperate we might leave for home early.

As we pulled up someone was already in the parking lot.  Here
was the boost we needed, in fact many people showed up through
out the day and hawk watching was fun...THANKS to all who visited
us.  Arriving before us was Richard & Tarcila Fox with their 
"wonder pup", Claire from Goodletsville.  Later in the morning 
came Chuck & Lola Estes from Oakridge followed by their friend,
Shane Williams from Knoxville, Bill Holt from Hixson and at the
end of the day Kent Dubois from Signal Mountain.

We saw 475 Broad-winged Hawks with 414 of them seen between 2 and
3pm...(after the clouds decided to show up.) Also seen were 3 Sharp-
shinned Hawks, 3 Cooper's Hawks 1 Adult Bald Eagle and a Peregrine 
Falcon that was seen by Richard & Tarcila and Cynthia.

Keep Looking Up,
Jimmy & Cynthia Wilkerson
