Mt. Pisgah Hawkwatch -- 9/18



The first big flights of Broad-winged hawks appeared today.  Floyd must
have shaken them loose.

Todays totals:
Hours of observation -- 5
Broad-winged Hawk -- 214
Sharp-shinned Hawk -- 1

Monarch butterflies -- 233 

Thanks to Greg Townsend, Ray and Sandy Sharpton for helping out!


For those who don't know where the watch is located, we're on the Blue
Ridge Parkway between milepost 404 and 405.  this is about 12 miles
south of Asheville and about 3 miles north of the Pisgah Inn complex.  
The "Raptor Day" event will be held on Saturday, Sept 25.  We'll be
there all day with informative displays produced by my high school
class.  Rain date is Sunday, Sept. 26, 1 pm to 6 pm.
