Keep the observations coming! September will be an awesome and crazy month for hawks. Expect to see odd Red-tails, the start of Harlan's Hawks, Broad-wings, Red-shouldered and perhaps a very wayward kite. Owls will also be singing and starting their winter courtship calls so nights out in the forest will help. Good luck!
