A few weeks ago I posed this question based on my observation that Red-tail
numbers seemed to be diminished in the Champlain Valley generally and in our
sector of the Christmas Bird Count in particular. Fuggetaboudit! During a
brief visit to the Intervale this afternoon I quickly counted 8 RT Hawks perched
in the trees bordering the compost piles. There were more flocks of starlings
than usual, also, which may account for this "surge".
