This morning was a great morning to be at the Mount Peter Hawk Watch — a strong wind out of the north-northwest, plenty of clouds and prime-time for Broad-wings.
Saw quite a few the hour I was there, plus a couple of Sharpies and Ospreys — and the resident Redtails and vultures. Only the Teevees got close enough to photograph (below).
Wouldn't you know — less than five minutes after I had to leave, a flight of more than 500 Broadwings came over. Last I heard, around 1 p.m., they had more than 1,000 raptors for the day already.
Great pictures. We live near a lake and can see similar birds this time of year. Hawks are also seen quite frequently here in southern PA
