I finally made it out to the Middlefield region to look for raptors. The previously reported Rough-legged Hawks were present, but quite widely distributed early on. I was also surprised to find a conspicuos adult Bald Eagle perched in a favorite rough-leg tree. Highlights were: Middlefield: Rough-legged Hawk - 4 (1 dark morph) Bald Eagle - 1 (adult) Red Tail Hawk - 2 (1 adult, 1 juvy) American Kestrel - 2 (1 male, 1 female in close proximity, likely a mating pair) Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area: Bald Eagle - 1 (adult) Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 Red Tail Hawk - 2 North Bloomfield: Northern Harrier - 1 (female) It's hopefully the begining a great raptor season!
