Phillip W. Hammond Hi Phillip , While such a sighting would be unusual, it's not out of the question. Hawks are beginning their migration back to the north from the south. Seth Williams, NPR radio personality and host of the NRV bird email list, sighted a small, loose kettle of 11 hawks, six of which he could positively identify as red-tails. The number you saw would seem to indicate broadwings, which do form larger kettles. Build Better Business is for you.
Lunch is complimentary.
Relatively little walking is involved. Bill Hunley will meet us at the Peaks of Otter Visitor Center for a stroll around Abbot Lake. Expect high elevation woodland birds. Some light walking is involved. Expect a long, fun day.
