Detroit River Hawk Watch - 11 Sep 2016

Hawk watching was a bit slow today, but still very enjoyable. Partly cloudy and mild temps made for a nice visit. Broad-winged Hawks would fail to materialize, but a few were seen. The best bird of the day was this Red-tailed Hawk that floated overhead and soared for some nice images.

Cedar Waxwings were flying out over the water and provided a BIF challenge. They were easier to capture in the trees.

Next week is Hawk Fest!
