Staff from the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center conducted a coordinated Hawkwatch with 4th graders from Interlakes Elementary School in Meredith today for the 45th consecutive year.
We had a great day with a nice push of Broadwings in the morning with a midday lull (really high streaming Broadwings squadrons) and then a great push of hawks between 2:00 and 2:45.
