10/6/07 - From Gina Nichol, Julian Hough, and Sunrise Birding Raptor Workshop: New Haven, Lighthouse Point -- 10 MERLINS, 2 PEREGRINE FALCONS Also: 5 Osprey, 4 Northern Harriers, 50 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 5 Cooper's Hawk, 1 Broad-winged Hawk, 40 American Kestrel I post my sightings online as well at _http://www.sunrisebirding.com/sightings.htm_ (http://www.sunrisebirding.com/sightings.htm) . ----------------------------------- Driving to Lighthouse this morning and seeing the weather, I wondered if we should have postponed the Raptor Identification Workshop because of the fog. I'm glad we didn't! We had great looks at several falcons and good comparative looks at Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawk. Buteos were low but the rest made up for it. You never know!
