I see more hawks in Valley Forge. I think the Schuylkill River has improved.

Southern Ontario must be doing pretty good then, we have hawks everywhere, including our really populated urban centres.



This one caught a seagull in mid air and landed in the middle of the road to eat it while I was waiting for the bus. I have two other regular hawk visitors to my backyard and I've seen about 5 others while driving highways this week.
It is hawk week and someone forgot to tell me?
