Hi All Well, I got a nice reward for working the entire holiday weekend (and not eating turkey). When I pulled into the staff lot behind the Visitor Centre this morning I notice a very large group of Turkey Vultures streaming overhead. As they kettled up, I notice some other hawks in with them. In addition to Sharp-shinned, Cooper's and Red-tailed, there was one other individual that looked different. It broke off from the larger group and flew west affording some nice looks at a juv. light morph Swaison's Hawk - it was no Brown Booby, but I'll take what I can get.
The bird flew towards the west beach and then out of sight. While on my duties yesterday, I had a Vesper Sparrow at the south end of the West Beach parking lot. There are still lots of kinglets in the park and good numbers of sparrows as well. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
