Hawk Migration Notes: August 2015
http://hmana.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2015. Fall Hawkwatching Basics: Where and When. Hawkwatching - Braddock Bay, NY. As a seasoned hawkwatcher this is a conversation that I have had sadly all too often: on a deathly slow day someone shows up at the watch and asks ‘how is it going’.

How to Identify Birds in Flight. Annotated Checklist: Birds of San Diego County. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Wrentit. William Heise County Park, Julian, California. July 3, 2015. Greg Gillson. Homebodies, a pair of Wrentits average a territory of just one acre in size (range 0.5-2.7 acres). That means that a pair of Wrentits (who mate for life), on average, spends their entire lives within an area smaller than a football field. Wrentit in a favored shrub- poison oak!

Ramona, California. December 25, 2014. Greg Gillson. Two weeks ago I swung by Collier County Park.

Monday, November 26, 2012. About the Pomona Terrorists. Below is an email that I wrote, today, to a reporter at the LA Times that I met one day at Starbucks:. You probably don't remember me.
