It takes place just a few miles west of where I live. Some information can be found on it here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/travel/stories/globe/eagle.html and here: http://www.travellady.com/articles/article-goldeneagle.html Regards, Greg J.

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.

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!
