Summary: This week we are joined by John Richardson, Count Interpreter for the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory . Hawk Ridge is gearing up for another season, and John reports that activity began picking up last week. Many great birds have already been spotted, including common nighthawks, bald eagles, and broad-winged hawks. Also they were delighted a few days ago to spot a black vulture!
