Tonight our class was near the Bunker Hills Activity Center. We started out on the oak savannah and ended up at a lake/marshy area. Along the way we saw a Cooper's Hawk, a sharp-shinned hawk (photo), mallards, red winged blackbirds, robins, blue wing teal, sandhill crane, black capped chickadee and Canada geese. The cold weather has really delayed migration this year. We hope to see more variety of bird soon.
PS When we saw the hawks, we took turns guessing what kind of hawk we were seeing. We are an accepting group and people are comfortable with making incorrect guesses. One student suggested we were seeing a broadband hawk. I knew that sounded wrong but could not figure out exactly why. Someone else said, "You mean broad wing hawk?" We all laughed and came up with more guesses like comcast hawk, Xfinity hawk and qwest hawk.
