Hi there all.

  Around my house in Windsor, a farmer has cut his fields and baled the hay.

Since this happened in the last week, there have been  two hawks of 
which I am positive are not red tailed.

I've narrowed it down to three according to my Stokes book.:
1 ) red shouldered
2) broad winged
3) rough legged

The pair of them circle with not a lot of wing flapping.

They pull thier wings in tighter to move faster, often flipping and 
changing direction very quickly.

THey have a distinct cry that alerts me that they are flying overhead.

I finally took the binoc. out with me today and am going to try to 
get a better description from underneath.

If anyone is in Windsor, the fields are by the Superstore and run 
behind the hospital.

Over and out!

Angela
