Steve Hall counted 231 red-tails, and a nice flight of 16 Red-shouldered Hawks added to the 388 total for the day.
We are in the peak period for Golden Eagles, and north or northwest winds are the best conditions to see them. Sunday's forecast looks good in that regard, but the foot or so of snow forecast for Sat. p.m. could make travel a problem. It will certainly be a snowy hike uphill to the lookout.
More info on the Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch, including directions, is available at www.franklinmt.org. If you do visit, be sure to dress extra warmly.
