Friday yielded another large flight of Broad-winged Hawks over Putney Mountain, resulting in a total site count 45-50% greater than any previous year (at least according to my unofficial records).
Here's a sampling of images from the day.

Some of the hawks were low enough to be easily seen. They provided many moments of excitement for the students who came to the ridge for an outdoor classroom.

With so many hawks overhead, including some hungry accipters, this
Northern Flicker headed for deeper cover ...
