Hawk-watchers have always been a bit crazy. Today we proved it again by watching all day at Conneaut with the temperature about 38, and the wind chill must have been in the teens. But the wind was from the south and it didn't rain -despite the 70-80% prediction. We found shelter on the north side of a building since the wind blew over scopes and made it very difficult to hold binocs steady.
We were glad to see that when hawks and vultures have been bottled up for weeks, they will definitely move in cold weather with a south wind and no rain.
