Any LUGgers are welcome to join me for a day at the west coast's premier hawk watching point (weather permitting). Bring telyts, trinovids and televids. My lens of choice is the 560mm f/6.8 Telyt One of the highlights will be the dark color morph of the Broad-winged Hawk. The normal light-color Broad-wing is abundant at the east coast hawk migration points but the dark morph is rarely seen in the east. Breeding in Alberta, the population that includes the dark morph takes a more westerly migration route. Until discovered at Hawk Hill in the mid-1970s, the dark morph had never been seen during its migration. The Broad-wing is ordinarily very scarce on the west coast but during the fall migration they are almost predictable at Hawk Hill in late september. If the Broad-wings are a no-show there will still be plenty hawk activity: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/SSHA.HTM Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com ___________________________________________________ The ALL NEW CS2000 from CompuServe Better!
