Hi Tweets -
The Rough-legged Hawk Rachel reported seeing yesterday at Kent Ponds
was still present this morning. It was hanging out in the same
general area she mentioned, best found by hiking the loop trail from
the parking lot on Russell Rd [the west side of the Kent Ponds area].

It was a nice consolation bird for a day that got off to a less than
ideal start: I got up early planning to try for owls around the Kent
area - then, from 5:30 am- 7:00 am I sat in the parking lot called
I-5 South, waiting for a bad accident to clear. No owls for me.

Other than the Rough-legged Hawk, there were also 7 Western
Meadowlarks and 9 Canvasbacks hanging out at Kent Ponds.

Good birding,
