Pinnacle Rock and Forest Dale Cemetery Raptors, Etc.

[Paul Peterson]

This is in Malden. I joined Craig Jackson at his perch atop Pinnacle
Rock from 2:00-3:15. My target bird was Broad-winged Hawk, since I
hadn't had one yet this year. After only ten minutes, we had one come
rather close. I had another twenty minutes later. I then went to
Forest Dale Cemetery for a good while, and added Peregrine Falcon and
a possible SEVEN MORE Broad-winged, but this kettle of hawks was too
distant to positively i.d.
