Jacks Mountain is particularly known for the number of broadwings that fly over. Today was no exception, although the sun wasn't in a particularly good position. Photography was rough, but there were plenty of broadwings to choose from.

A broadwing is a crow-sized hawk (or buteo, if I was being proper in hawk nomenclature).

During one part of the day, a turkey vulture perched on a nearby tower and surveyed everyone at the hawkwatch.

No one looked particularly dead, and turkey vulture flew on. TVs, as they're known, are magnificent flyers.
Photo note: I used a Pentax K200D, with the SMC reflex 1000mm lens.
