Kites and Red-shouldered Hawks and a lovely light phase Rough-legged Hawk were highlights of this first route of the Nov 2020-March 2021 survey season. I spent more time than I should have taking photos. Here is the list of birds we found:
23 Red-tailed Hawks
26 American Kestrels
1 Northern Harrier
1 Rough-legged Hawk, light phase (we see it between Hwy 18/22 and South Yamhill River Rd. most every year)
4 White-tailed Kites
2 Cooper's Hawks
2 Red-shouldered Hawks
1 unidentified flying raptor
And here are some of the photos:
