Here’s hoping for a great hawk flight today at the Ridge, as, assuming that the weather conditions there are as they are at Littleton, they’d be hard-pressed to have better conditions on this date. I would expect a big buteo flight, along with a good smattering of other species. I recall a triple-digit flight under these conditions around this time of year in the past. In fact, I think that the world-record one-day count for Ferruginous Hawk - 40 - took place around this date under similar conditions.
