On this splendid sunny morning about two dozen participants attended a hawk watch organized by the Mascoma Chapter of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire and held near the control tower at the Lebanon Airport in West Lebanon, NH. Sightings began with a fairly fast start around 9:30 am and then slowed down a bit as the morning progressed. Seven species of raptors were sighted. As many as 20 Turkey Vultures were in sight at once as those roosting in West Lebanon took flight for the day. Other raptor sightings included an adult Bald Eagle, a Northern Harrier, a Sharp-shinned Hawk, at least three Broad-winged Hawks, a mature Red-tailed Hawk, and an American Kestrel. In addition, a few other buteos were seen at long distance, too far for definite identification. Other bird species sighted included 2 Great Blue Herons, about 20 distant gulls presumed to be Ring-billed Gulls, two Yellow-shafted Flickers, four Eastern Kingbirds together, Blue Jays, American Crows, a few hundred European Starlings wheeling about, a few American Goldfinches, and a few intrepid House Sparrows mingling among the hawk watchers and even standing on their vehicles. Numerous migrating Monarch butterflies provided a colorful addition to the hawk watch. Thanks to Art Mudge for an introductory talk on hawk watching and to Don Lacey for compiling the sightings.
