PLEASE continue to post the daily hawk watch numbers from around the
state. The data are very interesting to most birders, particularly
those within a short (2 hours) driving distance of a hawk watch. Those
folks who are not interested can tap the "delete" key or the down
arrow key to go to the next post.
Many thanks to all the hawkwatchers who work and volunteer every day
and then work at night to post the numbers! Awesome work and very
important.
Thank you!

Is it only me or are others tired of our list server being dominated every fall by mundane, tedious, less than fascinating daily informational lists about EVERY hawk watch imaginable in Virginia? Don't get me wrong, I like hawk watches; have been a volunteer hawk watcher, go to them all of the time. The info is valuable for scientists. I just think that the daily deluge about 14 more merlins having been being seen somewhere adds very little of interest for most of the regular users of this site. Perhaps next year there could be a 'sister/brother' site where ALL of the Virginia hawk watch info is displayed rather than cluttering up this one. Just my 'two cents' worth.
