Swainson's Hawk and Olive-sided Flycatcher
This past Friday, September 19, was an exciting day on the hawkwatch platform. A Swainson's Hawk flew by the platform and circled around in the east for a few minutes at 12:30 P.M. Then an Olive-sided Flycatcher, spotted by Brian Taber, perched in a small branch to the southeast of the platform. The bird soon moved over to "The Snag" where it remained for close to two hours.
