Prelude to HawkFest 2016 - 16 Sep 2016
Clear skies and winds from the west prompted hope for a good flight today at the Detroit River Hawk Watch, but alas, the birds did not cooperate. A handful of Broad-winged Hawks, Sharp-shinned Hawks, and Northern Harriers flew over, but the big kettles of birds did not materialize.
