This is the final count for the Hornsby Bend Hawk Watch. I counted 16migrant species; including our resident Caracaras, I observed 17 raptorspecies. The final number is well above last year's total, due to thetruly astounding numbers of Swainson's Hawks. I consider myself very lucky to have been able to sit and observe allthe things I did during my eight weeks at Hornsby, and I hope I'll beable to do it again next year! Thanks again to everyone who came to ourworkshop, helped out at the watch, and all of you who came to Hornsbyand visited. -Peg Wallace |
