11 RTHA - Orange to Westport Merritt, Feb 10, 2019

An unusual, at least to me, number of Red-tailed Hawks were roosting in plain view of the Merritt Parkway as we drove down this morning.

In the quarter hour before 9 AM, we counted 11 RTHA's roosting in trees along the north side of the highway, between the UNH Orange campus, a bit above the Sikorsky Bridge, and Exit 41 for Rt 33.  (It got to be a game picking them out.  The traffic was light, and Mary looked harder.)

Do others notice so many?  Or, is there some hawk movement going on?  Anyway, it was fun!  Dawn sentinels guarding the road.

Orange to Westport Merritt, Fairfield, Connecticut, US
Feb 10, 2019 8:43 AM - 9:03 AM
Protocol: Traveling
20.0 mile(s)
Comments:    With Mary Porterfield.  We noticed these roosting RTHA's from about a mile north of Exit 55, i.e., just past the UNH Orange Campus, down the next 20 miles to Exit 41 for CT 33.  I couldn't figure out another way to code this incidental trip.
1 species

Red-tailed Hawk  11    These were roosting on the north side of the Merritt parkway, clearly visible as we drove down this morning a bit before 9 AM.

First, 4 in a tree about 1 mile N of exit 55, then
1 @ mile 32,
1 @ mile 31,
1 @ mile 29,
2 @ mile 27,
1 after Congress St., and
1 @ mile 23, then we left the Merritt

These were all in plain sight, along the N side:  dawn sentinels, they were facing the rising sun.  There may have been ones we missed or others out of sight.

I've not seen so many roosting along the Merritt (or anywhere).  It seemed unusual enough to try to report to you.  If there's a better way to enter, I'll be glad to change it.

The same thing is true with Red-tailed hawks along I-91.  We jokingly call them road-side hawks.  From New Haven to Hartford, you can see 8 to 10.

We play the Red-tailed Tally game on our way to skiing along 91 all the time. Yesterday we had a dozen between Hamden and Hartford before we just stopped counting. Besides the regular road sentinels, this included 2 ‘interacting’ in flight only about 20 feet right over us and the center of the highway. We usually get 7-8 all the way up to VT so it was a good day.  Also a bonus Bald Eagle in a tree by the school on West River side of Ella Grasso Blvd, assuming it’s one of the Evergreen parents. One of my favorite parts of winter is how easy it is to spot hawks in the leafless trees while simply driving around normally.  That and all the Goldeneyes and other beauties off our pier every morning. Love our four seasons!

I  do that sometimes when I drive from Enfield CT to Greenfield, MA, which is not that long a distance along I 91.  About four years ago I counted twenty red tails perched along the highway.  This was while I was driving, so no serious looking too far away from the road.  Lately, I'm lucky if I see two, and I wonder if they are declining.

We play the Red-tailed Tally game on our way to skiing along 91 all the time. Yesterday we had a dozen between Hamden and Hartford before we just stopped counting. Besides the regular road sentinels, this included 2 ‘interacting’ in flight only about 20 feet right over us and the center of the highway. We usually get 7-8 all the way up to VT so it was a good day.  Also a bonus Bald Eagle in a tree by the school on West River side of Ella Grasso Blvd, assuming it’s one of the Evergreen parents. One of my favorite parts of winter is how easy it is to spot hawks in the leafless trees while simply driving around normally.  That and all the Goldeneyes and other beauties off our pier every morning. Love our four seasons!

An unusual, at least to me, number of Red-tailed Hawks were roosting in plain view of the Merritt Parkway as we drove down this morning.

In the quarter hour before 9 AM, we counted 11 RTHA's roosting in trees along the north side of the highway, between the UNH Orange campus, a bit above the Sikorsky Bridge, and Exit 41 for Rt 33.  (It got to be a game picking them out.  The traffic was light, and Mary looked harder.)

Do others notice so many?  Or, is there some hawk movement going on?  Anyway, it was fun!  Dawn sentinels guarding the road.

Orange to Westport Merritt, Fairfield, Connecticut, US
Feb 10, 2019 8:43 AM - 9:03 AM
Protocol: Traveling
20.0 mile(s)
Comments:    With Mary Porterfield.  We noticed these roosting RTHA's from about a mile north of Exit 55, i.e., just past the UNH Orange Campus, down the next 20 miles to Exit 41 for CT 33.  I couldn't figure out another way to code this incidental trip.
1 species

Red-tailed Hawk  11    These were roosting on the north side of the Merritt parkway, clearly visible as we drove down this morning a bit before 9 AM.

First, 4 in a tree about 1 mile N of exit 55, then
1 @ mile 32,
1 @ mile 31,
1 @ mile 29,
2 @ mile 27,
1 after Congress St., and
1 @ mile 23, then we left the Merritt

These were all in plain sight, along the N side:  dawn sentinels, they were facing the rising sun.  There may have been ones we missed or others out of sight.

I've not seen so many roosting along the Merritt (or anywhere).  It seemed unusual enough to try to report to you.  If there's a better way to enter, I'll be glad to change it.

Thanks for the various stories, and a reminder that it's mating & nesting time.  I'd seen plenty of individual birds, but not that number, but that's not a normal commuting time for me.

To those of you in the statistics world, e.g., eBird or the Atlas:  do you think that such sightings, of pretty high numbers, might be worthwhile to report?  Might there be an eBird "roadside" option?

Thanks, all.  Arthur Shippee, Hamden
