[Birdtalk] Hawk watching near Provo Canyon

[Eric Huish]

Hello all,

Went up onto the Squaw Peak road to do some hawk watching today.  When Grant 
and I got there at about 10:45  Milt, Lynn and Bryan were already there.  Me 
and Grant stayed to about 2:45.  I counted 90 raptors while I was there.  
Add two that were seen before I got there and we had 92.

26 Coopers Hawks, 12 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 22 other 'Accipiters' (some were 
too far away to identify, some I didn't get a good look at because there 
were a few going by at the same time and Many I got a good look at but 
wasn't confident in my identification), at least 5 probably 6 Golden Eagles, 
22 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Swainson's Hawks, 1 Merlin and 1 Northern Harrier.

Also in the area were Mt. Bluebirds, WT Swifts, Swallows, Chickadees, YR 
Warblers, Steller's Jays, Scrub-Jays and Juncos.
