December, 29, 2013, Sunday
Intermittent clouds and rain. Took time to concentrate on the pool and beach area with the hawks. The areas were busy with guests and I wanted to make sure the hawks were there to keep the pest grackles away from the food. I was able to get all 4 hawks flown that day and they did well. The residential area has very few grackles. But, I am waiting to see when this rainy spell passes to see what patterns occur. The grackles and blackbirds seem to have moved onshore, but I have heard that they are at hanging and roosting around a gas station on the mainland. Scouts still fly around at dusk, so we make sure that the hawks are present and in the air until after sunset.
