All,

I've started putting out carrion for the local scavengers again this
year. I had a couple ravens (word hasn't got out yet I guess...30
Ravens in my orchard is not uncommon), one adult Bald Eagle, and yard
bird #100, a Rough-legged Hawk.

Now in reality, that species may not be #100 for two reasons...one, I
didn't keep great records over the nine years I've been here, so I may
have seen G Black-backed Gull (for example), but just neglected to
record it. The second reason is that I'm going by memory...I changed
computers and I couldn't find my Avisys disk, so I can't check if RL
Hawk was ever seen in my yard before, but I doubt it since I don't see
many of these birds around here anyway. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure
it's new, and therefore my 100th recorded species for my yard. It took
me just over two years to go from 99 (Boreal Owl) to #100.

Randy
