Unfortunately I can’t count this hawk for the GBBC (Great Backyard Bird Count), unless it shows up again today. Did you count birds this weekend? Check it out.
submit your check list GBBC
(Update:  The hawk flew through in a flash this morning so I added it to my count today. Plus there was a rabbit but don’t suppose that counts)
