Hi All, Not a lot of posts today so just a quick update. Barry and I dashed out late this afternoon to try and see this bird. As we exited onto Santa Claus Lane we were on high alert. About one minute later we were almost at the end of the lane looking at each other thinking "what the heck would a Gray Hawk be doing here" when we saw five birders at the last set of parking spaces at the end of the lane. We immediately parked walked up and were told that the Gray Hawk was sitting in the Pine tree to the left and just prior to the entrance to the gated community (private road) on the other side of the train tracks (so very close to the reported siting this morning). We got quick looks at it, went back to the car to get more "gear" and by the time we got back (like 30 seconds later) it had been spooked by a car that had come out the community. We did not see it again. This was at about 4:15pm. At least we saw it!! evan - |
