Hawk Count

This week as I was taking Danny to work (a one hour drive each way), I saw eight hawks! That doubles last week. :)

  • One: large, rusty tummy - Crystal Rock Dr.
  • One: large, rusty tummy - 27 before Damascus
  • One: large, rusty tummy - Broken Land Pkwy. and Snowden River Pkwy.
  • One: large, pale tummy, a few brown flecks - 32, Northwest of Clarksville
  • Two: large, rusty tummies - Broken Land Pkwy. and Snowden River Pkwy.
  • One: large, brown back - 32 at 29 exit
  • One: large, brown back - 32 at Cedar Lane exit

  • . . .

    Later in the day when I went to pick Danny up, the kids and I saw one of the hawks at the corner of Broken Land and Snowden River again.

    4 Hawks

    I saw four hawks while driving Daniel to work this morning. Two of them were clearly Red-shouldered Hawks. Their chests were heavily striped with orange and their tails had white and dark bands. Their backs were very speckled with white and brown.
