Hawk Migration 2009 Fall Raptor Migration
Hawk Migration 2009 Fall Raptor Migration: Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Perdido Key, Fort Morgan, Alabama: "What a GREAT morning wathcing hawks just outside the Fort at Ft. Morgan. I only had two hours to observe (from 9 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.), but what an exciting two hours! Before I even got to my “spot”, I had to pull over and watch a kettle of broad-winged hawks cross the Mobile ship channel toward Dauphin Island, along with some accipiters, small falcons and a few general unidentified raptors…things started happening fast (couldn’t even keep my reporting sheet updated!)…everywhere you looked, you’d see raptors."
