Hawk Walk: 3rd Annual Harlem Bird Tour

Sunday proved to be a perfect day for hawks. Our group of 8 intrepid birders began on 110th and ended on 190th, with great birds all along the way. It's hard to say exactly how many different individuals we saw, but it was about 8. Here's the list as well as locations. Also check out some cool pix on Susan's flikr gallery
