I watched hawks Sunday afternoon on the Minnesota bluffs along the
Mississippi River. I checked three locations: Garvin Heights Park in
Winona, Great River Bluffs State Park north of Dakota and Apple Blossom
Scenic Drive north of La Crescent. Conditions were excellent for hawk
movement - NNW winds, dry and partly to mostly cloudy.
Garvin Heights from noon to 12:30 p.m. was weak - only eight birds.
Apple Blossom was even weaker, from 2:25 to about 2:45. But Great River
Bluffs showed promise, with 108 raptors in 54 minutes, including 83
broad-winged hawks and 17 sharp-shinned hawks.
