PVAS sponsored a trip to the Snicker’s Gap Hawk Watch. The weather was beautiful with light but favorable winds. Several of the participants were hoping for a Golden Eagle and one appeared in late morning, together with a mature Bald Eagle. In addition, we saw about a dozen Red-tailed Hawks, a couple Red-shouldered Hawks (one of which appeared to be flying with only half of its feathers, the other feathers having molted) and a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Several of us were spoiled by the record-breaking Golden Eagle day at Waggoner’s Gap last Saturday. Nevertheless, it is always a treat to see Golden Eagles.
