Broad-winged Hawk 4/19/2017

   A brief flurry of migrating raptors flew over my yard just after noon yesterday.  The highlight was the first Broadwing of the season.

   Usually passing Sandhill Cranes are heard approaching before they clear the trees but with a new house being constructed a couple lots over this small flock almost snuck by.

  A pair of low flying Turkey Vultures came by to check on my 17 year-old blind and deaf cat.

Patience.
