Smith Point Hawkwatch report for Nov 12. Light north winds got stronger in the second hour and the overcast started breaking around noon. Mixing in with the overcast were lots and lots of American Robins, some Eastern Bluebirds and balls of Franklin’s Gulls. A good show. An adult White-tailed Hawk gave us all wonderful views. Marvin Masters, Joe Kennedy and William helped with the fun. Bob
