Hawk migration is underway on Putney Mountain, Vermont. Today was one of the best early dates for the hawk watch with over 600 birds counted by the time I had to leave at 4pm - a good movement of Broad-winged Hawks, 9 Bald Eagles, Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks, a single Osprey, American Kestrels, roaming Turkey Vultures (not in the count) and some resident Red-tailed Hawks (not in the count).
Among the few keeper photos are a juvenile
Red-tailed Hawk and the
Osprey ...

Butterflies were also active on this delightful, sunny day. A good count of Monarchs was tallied. Among other butterflies common today were the American Copper and Orange Sulphur ...
