A Red-tailed Hawk landed on the pole on the tower with the wind ribbon! Wow I bet he/she was surprised to find Bob staring it down. Also a crow was frequenting the area around the tower. Crows are rare at Smith Point and more likely to be a Fish Crow than an American in my experience. Sarah Harrison and Regina Tippett helped out today.
