However everytime the wind turned ever so slightly to due west, we had a hawk come by. Until the big black clouds approached. Pretty amazing how that all works. 2 Redtails 3 Kestrels 1 Sharp shinned --- end of quote --- I'd like to add that at one point one of the redtails and the sharp-shinned were visible simultaneously, showing remarkably well the big differrence in size, the big difference in shape, and the difference in the way they combine flapping wings and soaring. Great display!
